Understanding Standards-Based Report Cards

Standards-based report cards provide precise information on a student's progress towards grade-level standards, focusing on mastery and growth over time, excluding subjective factors. They aim to support students with clear grading criteria and progress tracking.

  1. What are standards-based report cards? Standards-based report cards are a way of reporting: • a student’s level of mastery of grade level standards

  2. Purpose • To provide more specialized reporting: precise and specific information about a child’s progress toward a standard • To support common criteria for grading • To support students in answering: • Where am I going? • Where am I now? • How can I close the gap?

  3. How does Standards-Based Grading Work? Standards-Based Grading assesses a student’s overall work and most recent work so it tells us what a student has learned and what he or she now knows rather than what they knew at the beginning of a quarter or unit. In other words, it measures students’ knowledge of grade-level content over time by reporting the most recent, consistent level of performance. So, a student might struggle in the beginning of a course with new content, but then learn and demonstrate proficient performance by the end of the course.

  4. How does Standards-Based Grading Work? Subjective factors like attendance, effort, and attitude are not included in the grades.  In standards based grading, we will report proficiency and work habits (learning skills) separately in order to give a more accurate report of student progress.  

  5. Key Components • Aligned with North Carolina Common Course of Study • Scores include a 1, 2, 3, or 4 • Reading Levels are reported quarterly • Learning Skills • Comments • Grading to an “End of the Year Standard”

  6. “End of the Year Standard” • Student progress will be reported on a quarterly basis toward the “end of the year standard” • Therefore, students may receive a “2” on the report card as they are making progress toward proficiency • The goal is for all students to have at least a “3” in all areas by the end of the school year • Students will receive a “3” on the report card when they have mastered the grade level standard

  7. Scoring Scale

  8. Scoring Scales How do we determine the appropriate mark (1,2, 3, or 4)?
