What
does it mean to have standards-based reporting?
Standards-based reporting means that students are measured
quarterly against a set of district-wide academic standards
for each subject area. Each grade level has mid-year and
end-of-the-year sets of standards. Every student in that
grade level, across the district, is receiving similar
instruction and being assessed on the same expectations.
Who determines the
Standards?
Teachers with the help of the administration determine
grade level standards. With the Sapphire System, parents
will know exactly what their children are
learning in each subject area, each quarter, and whether
their children are
‘on track’ with state
and district academic expectations.
Why Standards-based?
Because schools are dedicated to providing every child
with a
comprehensive and complete education as well as
communicating each child’s progress through the
district’s
curriculum. |
