Priority Standard Evidence of Learning
Standards Selection Framework • All standards are not equal in importance. • Narrow the voluminous standards and indicators by distinguishing the “essentials” from the “nice to know.” • What do students need to know for life, learning (school) and the test?
Priority Standards Does the standard have ENDURANCE? Does the standard have LEVERAGE? Does the standard provide READINESS FOR THE NEXT LEVEL OF INSTRUCTION? Does the standard provide READINESS FOR THE STATE ASSESSMENT AND LIFE?
Purpose for SPSElementary Progress Report To communicate to parents It is not the purpose of the progress report to address every skill or content knowledge taught; select or identify students for educational programs; evaluate classroom instruction; • the priority standards students are expected to meet in each content area; • each student’s level of progress and proficiency in meeting those priority standards; • specific information about student progress through teacher narrative comments
Report summarizes in three areas: • 1.Behaviors that promote learning: how student learns • 2. Academic Performance: what a student has learned • 3. Learning Progress: How much a student has progressed
Behaviors that promote learning • S= strength(consistently uses skills across subjects and settings) • D= developing (applies skills in most subjects and settings) • E= Emerging (beginning to apply skills)
Academic Performance • Based on where a student SHOULD be at this point in the year if on track to meet grade level expectations by end-of-year. An *is used when area has not yet been taught. 4= Exceeding performance expectations at this time 3=Meeting 2= Approaching 1 Below
Learning Progress • Describes a student’s progress over time. A student may be below expectations for a grade level, but still making significant progress. A student may also be at or above standard and making minimal progress. • + for significant progress • Check for steady progress • - for minimal progress
Comments: to provide information about a student as a learner • Should help further explain: • Scores that are different than others • Any score below standard • Significant changes in scores • Previous communication with families- reinforcing, reiterating, clarifying • Child’s progress in relation to grade-level expectations
Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig. Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them. The student has a ‘full six-pack’ but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together. --Theschellenbergs.com One NYC Parent’s Blog Post: The Report Card Comments
System Agreements • Purpose of EPR is communication with parents. The progress report is not intended to be a comprehensive list of everything that is taught. • NO INSERTS – additional information goes in the comment box • Translations: currently in progress – Status update on weekly FAQ • This is a district-wide pilot of new application with built-in feedback process for the release of version 2.0 for 2012-13 school year. • 100% compliance with new electronic tool • No mid-year changes to standards or features. Feedback from teachers, parents and administrators will be reviewed by the steering committee and implemented based on needs and resources. • Priority standards will be reviewed based on teacher feedback. • Student growth on EPR is not tied to teacher evaluation.
