9 Purposes of a Standards-Based Report Card The Standards-Based Report Card provides more detailed feedback to parents regarding the progress their children are making toward specific learning expectations at their grade level. The report card allows parents and students to understand more clearly what is expected of students and how to help them be successful in a rigorous academic program. To provide traditional grades along with scores for each learning expectation addressed in a grading period.

10 Report Card Changes Alignment to the New Colorado Academic Standards (CAS) New Language to Reflect the CAS Proficient changed to Mastery o Mastery means that a student has facility with a skill or concept in multiple contexts. Can they do it? Can they apply it?

11 Report Card Changes In the past, teachers graded students based on the student’s progress on mastery of the target outcomes by the end of the school year. In the new, enhanced format, teachers grade student mastery of targets for the trimester. This change is meant to help parents and teachers know, more precisely, how the student is progressing during each grading period.
