  1. Standards Based Report Cards In August, Corunna Public Schools will begin to look at creating a standards based report card for grades K-5th grades. This is my reason for beginning to research this topic.

  2. WIKI PAGES INCLUDE • Several districts in Michigan who have already implemented standards basedreport cards and the process they used to do so • The Michigan Department of Education’s steps to implementing standards basedreports • Benefits of standards basedreporting (school and home) • Homework issue discussed (still collecting resources)

  3. SAMPLE STANDARDS BASED REPORT CARDS • Dearborn : • http://duvall.dearbornschools.org/ • Southgate: • http://www.misd.net/PowerSchool/Documents/OtherTools/StandardsbasedReports.pdf • General: • \http://nausetschools.org/pdf/progressk.pdf

  4. MICHIGAN DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION • http://www.michigan.gov/documents/6-1_107277_7.pdf • Why do this route? • The Process • You’ll know you have arrived when.. • Specialists to use • Tying it to: • Ed Yes! • NCLB • MI- Plan

  5. PROCESS • As a group read and discuss • Use “Terms of Endearment” (how high standards connect to grade level expectations) • Ask staff to locate school’s current status along the standards journey • Agree on timeline of “Next steps” • Agree to practice standards based lesson planning • Work to involve everyone in community • Agree to include cross-disciplinary units • Build a tracking system

  6. WHY? • FROM: • Sorting students • Emphasis on what’s taught • School success doesn’t predict life-long earnings • TO: • Educating all students • Emphasis on what’s learned • School success does predict life-long earnings

  7. BENEFITS FOR PARENTS • Parents can see exactly what their child can and cannot do. Letter grades do not tell parents what skills they have mastered or what skills they are working on • Concrete skills and knowledge are listed • All students are evaluated on the same grade -appropriate skills • Keep teachers and parents focused on student learning goals

  8. BENEFITS FOR EDUCATORS • Keeps teachers focused on what to teach • Matches with state standards • Helps in communicating to parents the skills their child has or has not yet mastered • Data collected shows specifically what class has mastered • Provides continuity across grade levels • Encourages cross-disciplinary teaching
