[eMINTS] Assignments Policy Feedback

[Libbi Sparks]

I am a high school teacher and have done something different with my
students.  I give the students the homework for a unit or a week and
then they have until the test or the end of the week to complete all the
work.  This allows students time to get help or if they are busy time to
get it done. I do this with my advanced classes.  With my other classes
the students get full credit if turned in on time.  If the students do
not turn it in on time I will give them until the next Monday to turn it
in for less points.  I will also give students a break if they come in
and I can see the student is really having trouble.

I am looking for some reasoning and documentation on assignment
policies.  Many policies do not take into account supporting lower,
middle and high achieving students.  They provide a consequence for not
turning in an assignment (points taken off, zero points given,
detention, etc).  What policy do you have in place that supports getting
students back on track and not just issuing a punishment?
