Chapter 14 FIAE: Responsive Report Card Formats

Report cards and progress reports are considered very important to most parents, and also to most students who care about their grades and how they’re doing in school. In this chapter one thing that I really liked and will probably use when I’m a teacher is showing the students personal progress and their achievement against the standard. This way, the student is able to show their parents their own progress as a student in the class, and the parent is able to see how their student measures up to the standard at which I am using to grade them. Number and letter grades can sometimes be daunting, however, if a school or school district says that’s what has to be on the progress report then that’s what has to go on there. It is always nice to add comments to the grade, that way it could possibly answer any questions the parents might have.
