[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The party line is that APS is now assessing progress on the year-end expectation. For ELA all standards are covered throughout all 4 quarters so proficiency is not expected until q3-4 when it has all been taught. So highest is a 2 since students have only shown partial understanding since only part has been taught the standards are much broader than what is on the report card; go look them up.

For math some of the units cross quarters and some are within one quarter only so if it has been fully taught a 3 or possibly 4 is possible.

We cannot give a 4 if the student has not shown extension in all parts of the standard.  APS has not standardized what makes a 4 especially in ELA. Right now it’s on teachers to develop that… and with what time!

This is what APS has directed schools to do. We have spoken up. They are not changing until parents raise concerns because we have brought them ourselves to no avail.

Has APS formally solicited feedback from teachers on their thoughts on this version of SBG? Are you getting the sense that the only people in favor of this model are sitting in offices and who don’t deal with students /parents everyday? [/quote]

Hahahaha! They just sent out a survey last week. Retroactive feedback, I guess.

We found out about the report cards just a few months before you did.[/quote]
