4. What is the difference (digging deeper)?

5. The best part…..  Performance Level marks measure your child’s progress toward mastering the standards, so everyone, teacher – student – parent, all know specifically what areas to celebrate success and what areas in which to continue studying, working, and practicing.

6. What are the “Performance Level Marks”? Extending—Students at this level of performance have an in-depth understanding of grade level performance standards expected at this point of the school year. Achieving—Students at this level of performance are consistently meeting the grade level performance standards expected at this point of the school year. Progressing—Students at this level of performance are partially meeting the grade level performance standards expected at this point of the school year. Beginning—Students at this level of performance are not yet meeting grade level performance standards expected at this point of the school year.

7. Mastery of standards are separated from behaviors (Habits of Success)  The FRONT of the new report card is all academic. It answers the questions:  What concepts does my child understand?  What skills need more practice?  What will my child be working on in another trimester?  The BACK of the new report card is (almost) all about behaviors. It will communicate to you:  Does my child collaborate with others well?  Is my child a purposeful, focused learner?  Is my child taking responsibility in class? Why separate the two? This is the BEST way to communicate reasons for success or where improvement needs to occur.

8. Will daily work look different?  Daily work in class and as homework is for learning and practice. Teachers will informally assess this “formative” work to guide their teaching. Daily work will likely look very much like the quality, goal-driven practice you’ve seen in the past. They will no longer have percent (%) scores on them, though, and are not “averaged” into any other scores.

9. What about tests and projects? These are called “summative” assessments and they may be on paper, the computer, three-dimensional, … the possibilities are endless, … but they will measure mastery toward standards with a four-point rubric, just like the report card! These are the scores that “count” toward final marks.

10. So, these “Summative” assessments are scored with “rubrics”…?

11. When will we see this “New” Standards-Based Report Card?  Progress Reports @ 6 weeks  You will go over the new system with your child’s teacher in a personal conference.  Of course, the progress report will be a compact version of the full report card.  Report Cards @ 12 weeks  Your child’s first SBRC will arrive home Friday, November 18 ( September 23 for Track A, November 3 for Tracks B/C, October 21 for Track D )  Included in the report card envelope will be an informational guide to help you understand the format and standard groupings.
