How Your Points Work
This page explains how you earn points, level up your character, unlock badges, and see how your work turns into a score in the gradebook. If you ever think, “Why did I get this score?” — this is where you find the answer.
Every assignment you complete earns points. Those points build your character, your badges, and your grade.
SP = Skills Points (practice & core skills)
CP = Challenge Points (higher-level thinking & complex tasks)
RP = Reflection Points (explaining your thinking & learning from mistakes)
Each assignment has its own mix of SP, CP, and RP, so you always know what matters most before you start.
Every assignment tells you how many SP, CP, and RP you can earn.
What it is: Points for practicing a specific skill or set of skills.
Examples: Note-taking tasks, vocabulary practice, reading checks, guided questions.
Why it matters: These are the building blocks you need to fully understand the unit.
What it is: Points for more difficult work that asks you to analyze, compare, argue, or create.
Examples: Essay questions, projects, debates, DOK 3–4 tasks, Costa’s Level 2–3 questions.
Why it matters: This shows how deeply you understand the ideas; not just if you remember them.
What it is: Points for explaining your thinking, reflecting on mistakes, and planning your next steps.
Examples: “What did you learn?” questions, error analysis, self-checks, goal-setting.
Why it matters: Reflection helps you turn confusion into growth and prepares you for mastery.
XP levels up your character and becomes your score in the gradebook.
Your total XP across the unit increases your character level.
Your teacher will share the level chart for each unit, including special titles and cosmetic rewards you can unlock.
Every assignment: The XP you earn is multiplied by 5 and entered in the gradebook.
XP is not random. Your SP, CP, and RP are clearly shown on the assignment rubric, so you can see how every part of your work counts.
XP measures your progress. Mastery Points measure how deeply and consistently you understand and live the work.
What it is: Points for positive classroom behavior and habits.
You earn BP for:
- Coming prepared and ready to learn
- Staying on task & using time wisely
- Asking helpful academic questions
- Showing perseverance during difficult work
BP can be traded for class rewards and also contributes to Mastery Points when you show strong habits over time.
What it is: Points for treating classmates as teammates, not competitors.
You earn TP for:
- Explaining ideas clearly to a peer
- Offering support when someone is stuck
- Sharing strategies or notes respectfully
- Being a calm, positive leader in group work
TP shows that you help the whole class grow, not just yourself.
What it is: Special points you earn when you show true mastery of a concept or unit.
MP considers:
- Your strongest skill work (SP) on mastery tasks
- Your teamwork (TP) & support of others
- Your consistent positive behavior (BP) during the unit
You need enough MP to earn each Digital Badge in the World Builders badge collections.
Your effort over time unlocks special events, visuals, and rewards that make your character and experience feel uniquely yours.
