The Elementary Common Core Report Card Task Force met with West Ed last year to develop new report cards that are aligned with the Common Core State Standards. The goals of this committee were as follows:
- Create a Report Card that is aligned with the new Common Core State Standards
- Create a format the easily communicates to parents student progress towards mastery of the Common Core State Standards
- Import Assessment Data into the Report Card Fields and come-up with a grade while still allowing teachers the ability to override the grade
- Provide teachers with a method to communicate pre made comments regarding "Strengths" and "Areas of Growth" for each student that are based on the Common Core State Standards
- Provide a field for customized comments
- Allow specialists at the elementary level to access student grades into specific fields instead of giving teachers a list of grades for them to input
- Input all report data online
We are happy to announce that we accomplished all of the above goals!
