[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Below from FCPS announcements that went out today. New “Work Habits” scores that will now be on final transcripts but will be on quarterly report cards to give “feedback on students’ time management, organization, assignment completion, and overall effort in class.”

Question for teachers-is this helpful for YOU to have students/parents know this? Doesn’t the grading of at least 7 formative and 2 summatives a quarter give this same information? If formatives show failing grades, doesn’t that already tell students/parents about assignment completion and overall effort, etc.? How is a work habit score different/separately helpful?

For teachers that have to implement this, what is the new info that a work habits score gives that makes it worth your time to do yet even more grading? This just seems like more work for teachers for no reason so wondering what I am missing?

“Changes to Middle and High School Report Card Feedback

With the first quarter of the school year ending on Friday, October 31, families can expect student report cards to be available the week of November 10. 
FCPS has revised the way teachers provide feedback on report cards, so you may notice some new comments. Specifically, comments have been revised to provide more detailed feedback for students and families.
Also, teachers will now include a Work Habits mark each quarter for each student. This scale provides feedback on students’ time management, organization, assignment completion, and overall effort in class. This is meant as feedback to families and will not appear on a student’s transcript. 
View the Middle and High School Grading and Reporting webpage for more information (https://www.fcps.edu/academics/grading-and-reporting/secondary-school?utm_campaign+=&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery#accordion-section-91082).[/quote]

Our high school did not do these this quarter. It's Westfield :roll: we are lucky if we get progress notes. Are any schools actually doing these?[/quote]
