[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I means in progress towards the grade level. N means not making progress towards the grade level. The definitions are right there on the report card. No, I is not like a D or F. I means you got a couple of questions wrong on a 20 question math quiz. I means you didn't put enough detail in your story. N is more like D or F.

So let me get this straight:

100% on a math quiz = P  
90% on a math quiz = P
80% on a math quiz = I?

Really?

Yes, really. Did you not see any of your child's graded assessments this past year?[/quote]

Didn't the explanations of the standards based grading day it wasn't equivalent to those percentages?  So for example [b]if we introduced a new topic week 7 and it's week 8 most kids would be in-progress and it could mean you got 50%-90% on the assessmen[/b]t. If you were still at 50% and it is week 10 that would be 'N' and most kids would be expected to be at 'P'[/quote]

I don't think I really understand what you are asking here. I don't think DD ever was given an assessment when she was first learning a topic. She was assessed after the topic was covered.  But maybe I am wrong, and she just picked stuff up quickly. She never got more than one or two things wrong (when she received an I), and usually got everything right (at least on math assessments), so she got all Ps. My answer "yes, really" was based on the fact that if DD got 2 answers wrong on something like a 10 question test, she got an I. I don't think teachers would give assessments until there is a reasonable expectation of kids being able to demonstrate proficiency. They wouldn't give assessments while they are still in the process of, but have not fully completed teaching the concept.[/quote]
