Chapter 14: Representative Report Card Format

This chapter talks about creating a report card that that represent and inform parents about their child's progress in a differentiated classroom. This format gives students feedback on personal achievement as well as their progress in mastering the curriculum standards. A continuous progress report tracks students' progress over a time as opposed to on form of assessment at one point in the student's learning timeline.

Being able to grade a student in different areas represents a student's learning more accurately rather than just giving them a letter grade for their all around performance. The student may have earned that grade but it doesn't show the areas in which that students has a great deal of mastery and in which subjects that student may struggle or have a disability. Giving parents access to the student's grades throughout the grading period will help the parent better understand the quality of work their child is doing as well as the assignments and grades that are being accumulated into that A or C grade at the end of the quarter.
