Design and implement a balanced assessment system.
Policy:
Background Several years ago CUSD 200 began Professional Learning Communities (PLC). The core principles of a PLC include:
1) Ensuring that student learn
2) A culture of collaboration
3) A focus on results
The PLC process has allowed our staff to develop shared learning goals, grading, and assessment practices. As our staff has engaged in continuous improvement of the PLC process, we have refined our practices and identified areas for improvement. With this, our staff has reviewed grading procedures to specifically define what a grade means and represents. This work has centered on the belief that the purpose of grades is to accurately communicate student learning progress through purposeful and timely feedback, as students develop enduring understandings and work toward mastery. Our goal is to provide students with transferable skills, equitable learning opportunities, and experiences that will inspire lifelong learning.
