3 What’s New in Fifth Grade for 2013 - 2014 Common Core Curriculum Georgia has adopted the Common Core State Standards along with 47 other states across the nation. The development of national standards for K-12 English Language Arts and Mathematics was initiated by the National Governors Association (NGA) and the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO). These standards provide a consistent framework to prepare students for success in college and career. Standards: ww.corestandards.org www.georgiastandards.org www.georgiastandards.org. www.georgiastandards.org

5 Formative Assessments  Daily, ongoing assessments/observations that are used to monitor student progress toward mastery of standards.  Formative assessments will receive a standards- based score as outlined in the rubric.  Formative scores will not be posted in Parent Portal. These scores will be communicated to parents in the weekly work folder sent home by the teacher. KEY TO FORMATIVE BASED ACHIEVEMENT 1 Limited or minimal progress toward standard 2 Ongoing progress toward standard 3 Consistent achievement of standard 4 100% mastery, above and beyond

KEY TO SUMMATIVE BASED ACHIEVEMENT F <70% C 70-79% B 80-89% A 90-100%

7 Summative Assessment Re-tests  Students will be allowed ONE retest for each summative assessment in ELA and Math.  Students eligible for a retest must participate in re-teaching and re-learning sessions and/or assignments as determined by the teacher.  Students will receive the higher of the two grades.  The purpose of the retest is not to improve a student’s numeric grade but to demonstrate mastery of the skill.

8 Report Card ELA will be a combined Reading, English, and Writing grade. ELA and Math:  traditional numeric grades  standards based scores Science and Social Studies  traditional numeric grades.
