FS REPORTING STUDENTS PERFORMANCE

Episode 9

My FS Learning Episode Overview

If we have to work with parents for the education of children, we have to inform
them about the childrens progress in school in the same way that we give the students
feedback regarding their performance. School vary in their practice of reporting students
performance.. This is what you will find out on this Episode.

My Intended Learning Outcomes

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:

state the reason(s) why grades must be reported to parents

describe what must be done to make grade reporting meaningful

My Performance Criteria

I will be rated along the following

a. quality of my observations and documentation,

b. completeness and depth of my analysis
c. depth and clarity of my classroom observation-based reflections,
d. completeness, organization, clarity of my portfolio and
e. time of submission of my portfolio

My Learning Essentials

1. Reporting students performance at least four times a year is a

regular practice of schools. A card-getting day is usually set for this
purpose.

2. Reporting students performance is done usually by means of a

Report Card.
3. Reporting students progress to parents is a must. This is a way to show
parents their childrens progress in relation to the standards. These standards
are supposed to have been explained to parents and students at the beginning
of the school year.
