[quote=Anonymous]The last several PPs are totally incorrect. ES is exceptional at the grade level standard, not above grade level. All students, simply be being in the classroom, have an opportunity to earn an ES. Read the standards (visit the CCSS website for reading/writing/math or Mdk12.org for science/social studies. Those standards tell you how to get a P. Demonstrate the standards, as set by the state, not MCPS, and you will get a P. Are teachers still learning how to grade in this way? Sure. Do some reading on standards-based grading. It is research-based and MCPS did not make it up. It is far less subjective than the old system. Teachers will have a learning curve for implementation, but that is to be expected and in the meantime, just ask your child's teacher how his/her grades are being determined. Ask to see their data. They are required to keep multiple pieces of data for each child before submitting report card grades....and if your child is only being graded on yes/no worksheet type assignments, that is another problem entirely.[/quote]
