Educators understand that students may encounter unexpected challenges or extenuating circumstances that impact their ability to meet academic requirements. Whether facing personal hardships, health issues, or unforeseen emergencies, these students require additional support and accommodations to ensure their academic success. However, without a structured mechanism for addressing extenuating circumstances, educators may struggle to provide equitable opportunities for all students, potentially exacerbating disparities in academic outcomes.
Traditional assessment policies may lack the flexibility needed to accommodate students with extenuating circumstances effectively. Educators may find themselves constrained by rigid deadlines, fixed assignment structures, and standardised grading practices that do not account for the unique needs of individual students. This lack of flexibility can hinder educators' ability to provide timely and appropriate support to students facing challenges, potentially undermining their academic progress and well-being.
Graide's Extenuating Circumstances feature offers a solution to the challenges of supporting students with unique needs and circumstances.
