Why Grade?
What do grades mean to you?
What does a 95, 85, or 75 mean?

What grade indicates a student has met proficiency?

Why do we give grades?
“Traditional grading promotes a culture of gathering points, not indicating learning.”
Ken O’Connor“The primary goal of grading and reporting is
communication. ..When used well, they provide vital information to students, parents, and teachers that can be used to enhance both teaching and learning.”
Thomas Guskey
![Page 9: Standards Based Report Card Parents' Evening](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020308/56815b13550346895dc8beae/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Will all students read at grade level by the end of the school year?
If not, who will not?How do we know this today?What can we do differently now
to help them meet this goal?
![Page 10: Standards Based Report Card Parents' Evening](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020308/56815b13550346895dc8beae/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Thinking Beyond an A…Demonstrate fluency in adding and subtracting whole numbers and in multiplying and dividing whole numbers by 1- and 2-digit numbers and
multiples of ten.
Students might be asked to evaluate a sample problem or the strategy used to solve the
problem in order to get a 3 (not just get 90% of the problems correct).

As a result of these variances and current research, we have made the decision to move
to Standards-Based Grading.

Purposes of Standards Based Reporting
• Provides feedback on student progress towards what students should know or be able to do by the end of the year
• Helps parents understand what is expected of students at each grade level
• Provides students, teachers, and parents a context for discussing learning progress in the classroom
(Seekonk Public Schools Elementary Report Card Committee, 2009)

Discussion Questions For The Parachute Packing Case
1.Which student will you choose to pack your parachute? Why?
2.If these were scores in a typical teacher's grade book, which students would pass? Which students would fail?

target and should be
celebrated)
4: Exceeding the grade level standard(Consistently producing
beyond grade-level
expectations. Very few
students perform at this level)

(Help and support is needed
from teachers and parents)

The report card will continue to grade students on progress towards meeting Student Responsibilities,
i.e. work habits, study skills, behavior.
P Performs Consistently: The student consistently demonstrates that work or study habit.

4 Questions that Guide Our Work
• What is it we want our students to know or be able to do?
• How will we know if they know it?• How will we respond when they don’t know
it?• How do we enrich and extend the learning
for those who already know it?
![Page 23: Standards Based Report Card Parents' Evening](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020308/56815b13550346895dc8beae/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
How will this affect your child?
From: Instead of wondering how they are doing in math....
To: I need to work on my addition and subtraction facts.
Students are able to take ownership of their own learning.

Features of the New Reporting System
• K-5 report cards will be issued three times a year. • Interim progress reports will also be distributed in
Gr. 1 – Gr. 5.• Parent teacher conferences in November, 2010.• Includes comment section.• Uses numbers instead of letter grades to reflect
students’ progress toward meeting academic standards.
• Progress indicated relating to the knowledge and skills a student should attain by the end of the year.
![Page 25: Standards Based Report Card Parents' Evening](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020308/56815b13550346895dc8beae/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Parent Communication• Link on the district website where information on
standards based reporting will be posted. (Check for updates!)
• Parent workshops to explain new progress reports and report card format. (October, 2009 and 2010)
• Increased opportunities for more frequent information on student growth:
– Parent-Teacher conferences in November– Three report cards– Interim progress reports
