Elementary Domain Scores
This a reminder that you do not need to score all domains in Tri 1 and 2. All domains should have a score in the 3rd Trimester as they are yearlong standards, and the final report card should show all Domains assessed in your class. A domain that is not scored in the 1st trimester should have a score of NA.
A student that comes in the middle of a Trimester receives a Domain score on anything that they have had: Sufficient Practice (practice aligned to the learning target), Feedback (timely, specific, aligned to the learning target), Opportunity to improve learning based on feedback from the teacher. If a student has received that for a domain, then it is appropriate to give them a summative score on a specific domain.
If a student is not going to receive any scores, the teacher should contact the parent and put the following comment on the report card (or something similar):
Student enrolled on (date), and there was not adequate time for the student to be assessed before the end of the Trimester.
