Understanding the New Eagle Point School District Grading and Reporting Policy

What do these changes mean for students and parent/guardians? Report cards will look different than traditional report cards. High School Students will receive: Traditional Letter Grades Detailed standards score(s) Behavior Scores Schools will be providing information on both the student’s academic achievement and behavior. Academic achievement will be assessed using the Oregon Standards/Common Core Standards. Students will also be assessed on behaviors that promote and support career readiness

What is proficiency-based or standards-based grading? Standards-based grading is the evaluation of student performance against pre-established standards that have specified levels of proficiency. Well defined standards identify specific knowledge and skills. They should describe what a student should know and be able to do as a result of instruction and experiences in school. Proficiency levels describe how well a student is advancing towards meeting the standard. If a student is proficient for a standard this means they have met all the criteria for that standard at this point.

Proficiency grading is part of a nationwide effort to help American children succeed as citizens and providers in a globally competitive environment. A proficiency-based or a standards-based learning system teaches and assesses student learning based on State/Common Core Standards. The goal of a standards-based system is to provide clear, effective feedback about student learning.

Questions

I understand how well my child has done when I see a letter grade. Numbers and letters are confusing. : Traditionally, a letter grade is an average of  Traditionally, a letter grade is an average of total points earned per reporting term.  This letter may include points for behaviors (turning in work on time, bringing/sharing supplies, attendance, etc.) that are not directly related to academic achievement.  In addition, in a traditional grading system, the grade is an average of the entire grading period rather than a representation of the growth of the student.  In a standards-based system, the student’s academic progress on specific over arching standards is reported, and this information is used to determine a grade.

D9 On-line is a true credit by proficiency model. They have a variety of formative and summative assessments. They offer multiple assessment opportunities. The confusion may be that they do not use a four point scale because they contract with k12 for software materials.
