Standards-based Reporting Seven Key Ideas
4. Plan for a standards-based system, not just a report card
“A school or district must distinguish between the content that is essential for all students to learn….” “I recommend no more than 20, and preferably 15, measurement topics per subject per grade level.” -- Robert Marzano
“What information provides the most accurate depiction of students’ learning at this time? In nearly all cases, the answer is ‘the most current information’. If students demonstrate that past assessment information no longer accurately reflects their learning, that information must be dropped and replaced by the new information.” -- Thomas Guskey
Everyone who has a need to know about a student’s performance in school certainly can be told that she or he is “a nice student who tries hard,” but they also have a right to know the specific level of her or his knowledge in a particular subject at a given point in time. -----Ken O’Connor
