HAWAIIAN STANDARD BASED REPORT CARD
“The standards-based report card modifications reflect teacher experience, knowledge, and expertise that were gained from years of standards-based grading and reporting, using multiple standards-based reporting formats. Changes to the report card are a result of years of development, field tests, and focus group input.”

KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
Standards-Based Report Card Teacher Guide
* Standards-based report cards are aligned to the GLE's. A few were chosen for reporting. The other GLE's need to be taught, but will not be reported on the report card.
* If student consistently demonstrates ability to perform the standard, student should be marked proficient. If the student continues to need practice for the skill, then the student is emerging.
* Emerging means anything between introduced and proficient.

FROM THE KENAI PENINSULA BOROUGH DISTRICT 2007 TECH PLAN:
Standards-based Report Cards The district has been moving one primary
grade per year to Standards-Based report cards. Grades K-3 is now complete. The
Grades 4-6 will be moving to standards-based report cards district-wide. Standards-based report cards will likely be piloted in
secondary schools first at the proposed Kenai Performance High School.

THE ROLE OF HOMEWORK IN STANDARDS BASED REPORTINGMICHIGAN Homework is an important part of a child’s
academic and personal development Homework is formative and may not be part of the
child’s grade “Risk-free chance to experiment with new skills” Apply what students have learned in school Demonstrate level of understanding to teacher Remember that parents are frequently involved in
homework completion, therefore homework may not reflect a child’s true understanding
Concerns regarding homework completion should be addressed in “Life Skills” as well as the comments section of the report card

CLIPS FROM MANY SCHOOLS
The pilot report card is aligned to the district's curriculum and state standards. It is designed to reflect students' progress based partly on the results of periodic tests used to measure their preparedness for state achievement exams.
Scotland, Greenwich Times March 2010 2001 was the first pilot year for Standards-based
grading and by 2004 all elementary schools adopted it as the basis for all grading in the elementary school. The purpose of the adoption was to improve consistency in the grading process from grade to grade and school to school…

HEADLINES AND LEADS FROM THE PRESS
The Collier County School Board’s education subcommittee agreed with that statement, and unanimously approved a pilot program that would put standards-based report cards in four elementary schools next year.
Naples, Florida The elementary report card was revised during
the 2007-2008 school year and piloted in 20 elementary schools during the 2008-2009 school year. The new standards-based, grade-level specific report cards are used in Grades 1 through 5. See report card distribution dates on the Baltimore County Public School calendar for the current school year.

CONTINUING NEWS COVERAGE
During the 2006-2007 school year, a group of K-5 educators from across the Burlington School District and across subject areas met to create a new standards-based report card.
Friedenberg also said the Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District has significantly revised its standards-based report card each year. He said the first year students received 54 different marks, which proved too many for most parents to comprehend. "A lot of parents said there were so many categories that they couldn't figure out what it meant, so they just looked at the teacher comments," said Friedenberg. For this year, the report card was scaled down to include a smaller number of key standards.

“REPORT CARDS GIVE UP A’S AND B’S FOR 4S AND 3S”

Readers’ Comments to the Article ( based on high readership selection)
I teach high school math, and every day I have students tell me, "but I did all my homework, shouldn't I have a B?" Doesn't matter that the answers are wrong, or that no work was shown - too often "I tried, give me a good grade" is the mantra of this generation.
I think the switch to number grades is designed specifically to obscure problems and deficiencies in the school curriculum, by preventing parents from understanding their children's true progress.

YET ANOTHER COMMENT:
Learning has its own rewards and does not have to have false rewards of A-B-C or 1-2-3. Teachers have only 24 hours in their days. I’d much rather see my child’s teacher spend time being creative and inspiring (and actually getting to know my kids) instead of designing ways to measure, collect organize, and communicate data on 39 separate skills. Have we lost all common sense?

A EUROPEAN PERSPECTIVE ON THE ARTICLE:
In France, students are given numeric grades, on a scale from 1 to 20, where 10 is the minimum required to pass a subject. Furthermore, to evaluate the overall performance of a student, different subjects are weighted by varying coefficients, to calculate an average mark. These coefficients vary based on the concentration the student is pursuing: courses taken by a high-school student seeking a "scientific" diploma count more heavily than classes in history.
