[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The standards listed on the report card change from quarter to quarter so I think they are supposed to know them now, but some standards show up on more than one report card so maybe those are supposed to be learned by the end of the year... Also, my 3rd grade son's teacher appears to be grading him based on how he is doing on certain official graded assessments rather than whether or not he actually knows the material so in that case it's more a correlation to level of effort instead of mastery (which I'm fine with - but it's not standards based grading as I understand it).

Basically, the only useful information on how your kid is doing comes from the parent teacher conference and the little write up at the top. [/quote]

Your child’s teacher is indeed supposed to “be grading him based on how he is doing on certain official graded assessments” — but standard by standard as opposed to say, math overall. That is how he demonstrates “whether or not he actually knows the material.”[/quote]
