Oak Grove School started using standards-based reporting in 2016-17 for grades K-5. This page offers a few resources for parents that would like more information about standards-based reporting at Oak Grove School.
Here are the handouts that were shared at the Talk Tuesday.
Here are sample K-5 report cards for 2019-20
A "Philosophy of Curriculum and Instruction" page was added as a sub-section of this page.
On Friday, November 16th, you will be receiving your child’s report card for the first trimester. We wanted to share information regarding the reporting of standards, for report cards in kindergarten through fifth grade.
Standards will be reported by trimester for all grade levels K-5.
Student learning is being reported to indicate a student’s abilities based on expectations at this point in the school year (How a student is progressing along the learning continuum towards mastering the learning goals)
A student may receive a ‘3’ in Tri 1 and a ‘2’ in Tri 2 as learning expectations become more rigorous from one trimester to the next
Example: The standard states:“Asks and answers questions about the text”:
Trimester 1, to earn a ‘4-achieved’ the expectation for the student is to answer questions asked by the teacher
Trimester 2, to earn a ‘4-achieved’ the expectation is the same as trimester one with the addition of using specific details in their response (ex. beginning, middle, end, who, what, when, where, how)
Trimester 3, to earn a ‘4-achieved’ the expectation is the same as trimester two with the addition of asking questions specific of the text (Why did the character go ____?, What does this word mean?, Why did they go to the park?)
Currently, no decisions regarding standards based grading for grades 6-8 program have been determined. If you are interested in learning about the committee's work and have questions about a standards based system, please review the slides shared at the April 11th parent night. You may also scroll down to see all the committee notes, articles and book study information.
Last spring, the Board of Education opted to form a Standards Based Learning Committee comprised of teachers, parents, Oak Grove administration, Libertyville High School administration, and Board representation as part of our 2017-2018 Standards Based - Year of Learning. This committee has been reviewing all aspects of standards based learning for K-8. Currently, we have not made a decision regarding standards based grading for the 6-8 program. The administrative team would like to update everyone on the work that has been a part of the committee thus far.
As we enter our second year of standards based grading (SBG) in grades kindergarten through 5th grade, we will be extending our understanding of SBG to the middle grades with a Year of Learning. Having a ‘Year of Learning’ will allow teachers to continue to use their traditional grading practices for grades 6-8 while taking the time to learn more about the value and implementation of the standards based system. In addition, we will also be hosting our Middle School Standards Based Committee, starting in the fall, to gain an even deeper understanding of SBG and to help provide feedback related to implementation in future years.
Our purpose in grading is to ensure that parents receive the most accurate information regarding their children’s achievement and we are continuously striving to meet that goal.
