Evidence of Learning Teachers use a variety of communication strategies to support timely student assessment and reporting practices over the entire school year. This provides parents and guardians with information about student learning and growth as it is happening rather than solely at the traditional reporting times of December/March and June. Ongoing use of tools such as rubrics, examples of student work, video journals, the student MAP (My Action Plan), presentations of learning, etc. provide timely and comprehensive evidence of student learning when coupled with descriptive feedback specific and in relation to the learning standards.

Evidence of Learning & Descriptive Feedback Descriptive feedback empowers students to adjust what they are doing to continue developing their knowledge, skills, and understandings.

Just knowing where a student is on a scale provides minimal information to families to help students move forward in their learning. |
