• WHY STANDARD BASED REPORT CARDS?

    • They highlight the most important skills students should learn in each subject at a particular grade level.
    • They help parents to see how their child is progressing toward a particular standard.
    • Teachers have a better tool for documenting their students' progress.
    • Provides a clear expectation about what students should know and be able to do at each grade level.
    • When a student attempts a task, his/her performance is compared to the standard, not the other students' performances.
    • Teachers make a determination of where the student stands.  This determination can be based on examples such as (but not limited to):
      • Classroom assessments 
      • Student work samples 
      • Teacher notes from conferences and daily observations
