Revised DMS Report Card What does it look like at DMS?
Strategic Plans / Teams • District Improvement Plan 2012-2015 • School Improvement Plan 2014-2016 • School SIP Team (meet quarterly) • Report Card Committee, Summer 2013 • Research (Marzano) • Create a template • Staff Presentations
What we learned? • Who is our audience? • Will we use numerical grades? • How will literacy be represented? • Can we do trimester grading? • How can we make it work for DMS?
The Work Done So Far • We formed a committee to research and to start creating a template. • A template was created and revised. • The template was presented to the SIP Team, PTO, and School Council for their input. • Presented the template to the staff for feedback
PTO / School Council Feedback • Liked that we are making it work for our community • Liked the grading by trimester • Liked standards grading at each marking period, not just the end of the year • Would like rubrics to better explain work habits and literacy
Essential Question How can we get our grades to be more… • Consistent? • Accurate? • Meaningful? • Supportive of Learning?
Standards Based Grading Guidelines • Based on learning goals / standards • Measure only achievement • Emphasis on recent learning / performance • More than one opportunity • Evidence based ie. Performance or Assessment
Work Habits Rubric Scale Criteria Practice Preparation Participation Proficient -3 Progressing -2 Does Not Meet -1
Homework Levels Level 1- Preparation Level 2 - Practice Level 3 - Extension Level 4 – Integration
Supporting Resources • Literacy Rubrics • Work Habit Rubrics • Common Core Standards • MA Standards • Integrated Scope and Sequence
