STANDARDS-BASED REPORTING

• New way to communicate student learning• Grades will accurately reflect what students know in

relation to grade-level expectations at a point in time rather than an average over time

• Provides a clear and complete answer to the question, “What do my students need to know, understand and be able to do?

• Provides a framework for organizing instruction at a student’s own level.

Reporting Topic: Bike RidingPerformance Standard: Student can ride a 2-wheel bike independently.

1 1 2 2 1 1 2 2

2 1 2 2 3 3 3 3

• Traditional grading for correctness = student score of 1.9. (Average of scores throughout the journey.)

• Grading for learning relative to a standard, based on evidence of what a student can do at a particular point in time = student score of 3.

A four is above grade level and demonstrates a

continuous level of deeper thinking

Possible but not typical
