Report Cards Parent Information Diocese of Allentown

Why Trimester report cards? 1. Why did we change the report cards? Change in PA Standards and the Diocesan Curriculum 2. Why did that change? Because of what our students will need in order to be successful learners in secondary school, college and in the workplace This would have an effect on: IOWA, PSAT, SAT, ACT testing, along with local assessments on high school expectations

What was the process? Researched and field tested A committee of teachers and administrators was formed in October of 2014 Researched a variety of report cards Spoke with professionals at the diocesan, university, and school districts levels Process The committee worked together as a team as well as in separate grade level groups

Why Trimesters? Research was done Other school districts and diocese schools were polled on their experiences with trimesters Principals were presented with the information Feedback was positive We moved forward

What are Trimesters? Three semesters instead of four semesters Each trimester is 12 weeks in length Extending the instructional and assessment period from 45 to 60 days

What are the benefits of Trimesters? 1. Research shows trimester grading periods are more developmentally appropriate for elementary and middle school students 2. Trimesters give teachers more time to assess and gather the data.  3. Second and third quarters were notoriously too short due to days off and weather concerns 4. Additional time allows for a better understanding of students’ learning styles 5. Conferences are held earlier in the year which allows time for teacher /parent collaboration and implementation of strategies

Assessments The Diocesan guidelines require a minimum of 5 major grades per subject each trimester. Details about assessments will be explained by the school/homeroom teachers.

Assessments Instead of mid-term exams, trimester assessments will occur at the end of each trimester. End-of-year exams in each content area will assess the important concepts students should know and have already been assessed during the year.
