Reading, writing, numeracy and social responsibility (Performance standards) This format for primary reporting is mandatory in the areas of reading, writing, speaking/listening, math, science and social studies This scale is making its way up the ladder - intermediate/secondary
Alignment with the scale allows for specific discussion/reporting in the areas of reading, writing, numeracy and social responsibility This alignment also corresponds to the descriptions for letter grades in the reporting policy There is a somewhat equal distribution between the levels of the scale, ie. Level 2 = 16, level 3 = 18, level 4 = 15 The challenge for the teacher is to determine the performance expectations at various times throughout the year (ie. Reporting periods) but one tool that does this is the benchmarks Begins to address the challenge of grade value from one class to the next
