ModificaKons
• Standard Based Report Card… – Directly aligns with CCSS/NJCCCS – Measures how well a student is doing in relaFon to the grade level standards rather than the work of other students
– Provides parents with a comprehensive understanding of individual strengths and weaknesses
– Gives more specific informaFon about what students should know & be able to do throughout the trimester
Purpose The standards based
report card provides more detailed feedback to parents regarding the progress their child is making toward specific learning expectaKons at grade level.
The report card allows parents and students to understand more clearly what is expected of students and how to help them be successful in a rigorous academic program.
