August 14th PD Day
Domains on the Report Card and in the Gradebook, Not Individual Standards
Laura sent out an email on August 15th letting teachers know that standards will not be part of the gradebook and report card. This is not a change for Middle School but is a change for Elementary. This year standards will not be on the gradebook, therefore you will not need to scroll through the standards. We do realize that many teachers want to give parents more description than what the domains provide, but we also know that providing too much information like individual standards is not always helpful to communicate progress to parents. This is just one example of something we will be discussing as part of the Assessment, Feedback, and Grading Committee.
Assessment, Feedback, and Grading (AFG) Committee
Here is a document with more details about the Who, What, When, Where, and Why of the AFG Committee. Please use the form below to apply for this important committee. Applications are due by Thursday, August 31st. Committee members will be notified by Thursday, September 7th.
