  2. What is a Standards-Based Report Card? A standards-based report card gives information showing a child’s progress toward meeting state and district standards in areas of content and performance. It gives specific information on a student’s level of proficiency on a given standard. Students should master each set of skills/standars by the end-of-the-year!

  3. Who Benefits from the Standards-Based Report Card? • Parents/Guardians and children can be more aware of what is expected. • It provides parents/guardians with a more detailed outline of the expectations in each of the major academic areas. • It breaks down the state’s standards (skills), so parents/guardians can see the specific area, or areas, in which their child could use extra practice. • Teachers can get a better understanding of what each child should know and be able to do at their specific grade level.

  4. How does the Standards-Based Report Card Compare to the Letter Grade System? Letter grades measure how well children do in comparison to their classmates. The standards-based report card measures how well an individual child is doing in relation to the grade level standards, not the work of other children. This gives parents/guardians (and teachers) a better understanding of their child’s strengths and weaknesses and encourages all children to do their best.

  5. What Will the Report Card Look Like? It will look different from the traditional report card which gives numeric or letter grades for each subject. It will show a list of grade level skills which are directly connected to the state standards or TEKS (Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills) It will use a specific key to show if a child has mastered a skill, is making progress toward mastery of the skill or is currently working below expected level on the skill.

  6. Our Goal : A custom made report card for the 2013-14 school year!
