Communicating Your Child’s
ProgressPurposes of changing our methods of reporting
your child’s progress include the following: Communicating where students stand in
reference to specific expectations for their learning
Not… “How is my child doing compared
to other students in the class?” but…
“How is my child doing with regard to the learning expectations for this level?”
5.27.05 Maury County Public Schools
Providing examples based on student work
Teachers should have clear examples of student work at the various developmental levels of performance. This provides concrete examples to parents of teachers’ expectations. This will increase parents’ knowledge of what is expected and enable them to help their child in making progress.
5.27.05 Maury County Public Schools
Provide consistent communication A standards-based report card
uses clear and understandable labels that help to break down the barriers between home and school. It opens the way between home and school for effective collaboration in efforts to help every student succeed!
