Grading

3rd Q Big ideas/standards to be assessed on report cards:

 * ===1,2,3,4 will be used for each standard in both the K-5 ELA and Math for each quarter. 3* is not to be used anymore. Teachers need to include three observations of the student's proficiency for each standard before entering the final score.===


 * ===All standards are of equal importance and should be assessed.===
 * ===ELA grades should be based on the student's performance for the quarter. Since the standards repeat and develop through quarters in reading and writing, evaluate the student's progress based on the work of that quarter. For example, a student may be able to write a narrative text with some details but not the extent of the exemplars. Based on the instructional recemmendations for that quarter, if the student has met the standard at that level then the student should receive a 3. If during the remaining quarters the student does not exhibit further growth in the standard, then the student should receive a 2.===
 * ===Guidelines for Digging Deeper assessments in reading can be found under the ResourcesTab on C-MAPP by grade level.===
 * ===Interim reports should be sent home for any student who is below standard for any quarter in addition to the parent-teacher conference 1st quarter. The interim report can be found at www2.wcpss.net/departments/academics/elementary/reportcards/index.htm Please make sure to update the year and school name before printing and sending to the parents.===
