“Learning is an ongoing process and what matters is
how much learning occurs, not when it occurs”
~ Robert Marzano
Why do we use performance levels for the standards instead of grade letters?
Our standards-based reporting system is designed to provide specific information about the skills students are progressing toward mastering. The student’s progress toward standards will be marked using the mastery scales below.
Academic Achievement: These standards are considered critical for student success, and specific standard statements help to more CLEARLY DEFINE EXPECTATIONS WHEN reporting academic achievement, teachers will use the following ratings:
Meeting or extending the standard | 3 |
Progressing toward understanding the standard | 2 |
Developing an understanding of the standard but experiences difficulty and requires practice and support | 1 |
Standard has not been introduced and/or assessed | N/A |
Work Habits and Social Skills are also important for success in school. Teachers will use the following ratings:
