At Shamrock, we prioritize a values-based approach to education, emphasizing respect, compassion, and knowledge. Our classroom standards encourage students to value diversity, take ownership of their learning, and maintain a positive environment. Utilizing a standards-based grading system, we assess students' achievements through formative (10% of the grade) and summative assessments (90% of the grade). Formative assessments offer practice opportunities and feedback, while summative assessments evaluate mastery on game day. Embrace Shamrock Pride and succeed with R.O.C.K. values!

Formative vs. SummativeThe Sports Analogy • Your coach has you practice, gives you skills and suggestions to work on, and you work towards improvement. • That’s Formative • It’s Game Day. You have put in your time practicing and now you must perform. • That’s Summative
Formative Assessments • Practice Days • 10% of your final grade • Not everything is “graded” but everything is assessed • The teacher will look at your work and provide feedback. • They will record you improvement, but the work may or may not be included in your formative grade.
Summative Assessments • Game Day • 90% of your final grade • There will be a summative assessment for each learning goal. • What if I fail or do poorly? • You may retake/redo the assessment • Requirement: study session, extra work, etc.
What is More Important?Formative or Summative? • What do you think? • Can you do poorly in practice, yet do well in the game?
