Is extra credit offered in an SBG-Classroom?
No.
The entire notion of extra credit stems from the belief that school is about amassing points and stresses quantity over quality (i.e. the more you get, the better you do).
In an SBG-classroom, the main issue is gaining enough quality evidence to accurately demonstrate a student's achievement.
In the SGB-classroom, consider extra credit as "yes, you can do extra in order to get credit”.
This "extra" comes in the form of correcting mistakes and completing re-assessment.

Sorry... the days of receiving 10 points of extra credit for boxes of tissues are over!
