Grade Card Revision ProcessGrade Card Revision Process
We decided as a group to delete, edit, and add items to the grade card.
We attended the grade card meeting scheduled by Pat Ross and met with the Progress Book consultant.

Grade Card Revision Outcomes:Grade Card Revision Outcomes:StrengthsStrengthsSince the team consisted of all of the
kindergarten teachers, the revisions reflect the entire grade level.
By working with the Progress Book consultant we were able to know immediately which revisions were achievable and which were not.

Grade Card Revision Outcomes:Grade Card Revision Outcomes:WeaknessesWeaknessesAll revisions were not supported by
all members of the group so compromises had to be made.
The Progress Book consultant was not able to make all of the revisions that we had wanted due to the limited software that the company makes available to her.

Assessment Binders ProcedureAssessment Binders Procedure
The group brought materials and ideas that they currently use to assess each indicator. Then as we discussed each indicator we shared our ideas and materials. We then organized then into binders.

Assessment Binder Outcomes:Assessment Binder Outcomes:StrengthsStrengthsWe were able to learn new ways to
assess our grade card indicators and organize them in a “user-friendly” fashion.
We discussed the total points used when assessing indicators and will be more consistent as a grade level.

as new strategies are learned and future grade card revisions are made.

We hope that our suggestions to Progress Book are used to create new software so that all of our grade card revisions can be made.
We hope that our assessment binders become a valued, time efficient assessment tool that helps to make our assessment strategies more consistent.
