  3. Nova Scotia Report Card Report cards in grades 1–12 have four components: • attendance • learner profile • grades • comments

  4. Learner Profile: Social Development and Work Habits These four main categories are reported on the Learner Profile: • 4 main categories • Classwork and Assignments • Interacts with Others • Organizational Skills • Responsibility and Independence

  5. Nova Scotia Report Cards Two major areas we report on: • Attendance • Learner Profile • Grade • Anecdotal Comment Social Development Work Habits Student achievement in relation to the learning outcomes

  6. Student Learning and Assessment • When assessing students in relation to learning outcomes we continue to expect that: • Student learning is assessed throughout the learning process. • Students will receive regular feedback on what they do well, and what they need to do to improve their learning and track their progress over time. • Students will have a variety of opportunities to demonstrate their learning using multiple assessment types and tools(conferences, presentations, debates, projects, observations, journals, tests/quizzes etc.).

  7. Student Learning and Assessment Regardless of the reporting code, we continue to focus on quality instruction and assessment practices.

  8. Focus on helping students to really understand what their classroom experience will be and how their success will be measured. Start here…. Communicating very clearly the learning targets and how their success will be measured Developing effective classroom instructional strategies that allow for the measurement of success. Working with students to provide them the information they need to improve • Clarifying, sharing, and understanding learning intentions and criteria for success • Engineering effective classroom discussions, activities, and learning tasks that elicit evidence of learning • Providing feedback that moves learning forward

  9. PTGB • Our expectations for use remain the same • Used for all courses ingrades 7-12 • Categories must be set up in relation to curriculum (modules, strands, units) • Linking outcomes to assessments • Assessment titled appropriately, with descriptions, published in a timely manner See a new document Working with PowerTeacherGradebook 7-12 Weighting, Categories and Assessment in an Outcomes Framework

  10. Grades and Descriptors

  11. Grades and Descriptors • Grades and descriptors are used to summarize a chunk of learning over time. • The learning focus pertains to • the knowledge/understanding of the concepts and skills of the learning outcomes • and the application of those concepts and skills

  12. Comments • Comments should be a short summary of learning to date • They will focus explicitly on a student’s • strength(s), • areas for improvement • suggestions for supporting student’s next steps in learning
