In our transition to Standards Based Grading and Reporting we want students to understand that the final mark they receive for a reporting standard on the grade level progress report will not be negatively impacted by learner behaviors. Effort, behavior, extra points, etc. are not figured into a final grade. Instead, teachers will indicate progress to parents regarding skills necessary for long-term academic success via the Characteristics of a Successful Learner section of the progress report. This updated area of the progress report will inform students and parents about learner behaviors (i.e. Following written and oral directions, demonstration of organization, etc.). The Characteristics of a Successful Learner Indicators are defined below.
Characteristics of a Successful Learner Indicators:
4 – Student consistently demonstrates this skill
3 – Student demonstrates this skill most of the time
2 – Student demonstrates this skill some of the time
1 – Student requires on-going support to develop and demonstrate this skill
Each week I will share information regarding your student's progress on these skills through Thursday folder communications.
