Stop manual grade overrides! This 10% Professionalism Rubric & 90/10 Weighted Grading Kit ensures defensible, transparent, and fair student growth tracking. Are you tired of “the math not mathing” at the end of the term? Do you find yourself manually “bumping” grades for hardworking students, only to worry about administrative audits or parent complaints? The Override Killer is a plug-and-play grading framework designed to protect your professional integrity while honoring the “human factor” of teaching. By shifting your gradebook to a documented 90/10 weighting system, you can mathematically reward resilience, effort, and growth without ever hitting the “manual override” button. What’s Inside the Kit? The 90/10 Student Framework: A 1-page “Success Contract” for students and parents explaining how professional habits impact their final grade. The 4-Pillar Professionalism Rubric: Clear, defensible criteria for Resilience, Academic Presence, Integrity, and Community (2.5% each). Student Self-Assessment Tool: A mid-term reflection sheet that puts the responsibility of growth back on the student. Teacher Implementation Guide: Step-by-step instructions for setting up weighted categories in common SIS platforms (PowerSchool, Canvas, Infinite Campus). Defensibility Scripts: Pre-written email templates to help you explain grade calculations to parents and administrators with total confidence. Who Is This For? Secondary Teachers (6-12): Any subject area where you want to reward “soft skills” legally. Teachers using SIS Platforms: Works perfectly with any digital gradebook that allows category weighting. Inclusive Classrooms: This rubric specifically protects quiet/introverted students and those overcoming personal crises. Why It Works: By using this kit, your “Professional Judgment” becomes Data. If a parent asks why a student’s grade was adjusted, you don’t say “I felt they worked hard”—you point to the rubric and the 10% Engagement category. It’s transparent, it’s fair, and it’s bulletproof.
