Grading
M
GRADES:
“A” means, “I know this skill/concept so well I could explain it to others, or extend it to new situations.”
* “B” means, “I know this skill/concept well enough to have mastered the grade-level expectation.”
“C” means, “I am still working towards the grade-level expectation, and getting closer.”
“D” means, “ I need extra support to perform in this area.”
“F” means, “ Even with help, I do not understand this skill/concept or I did not even try.”
*The “B” is the standard for a child to master grade level skills. However, a student who ‘passes’ a skill with a “B”, will be asked and encouraged to keep working toward an “A” if time and opportunity allow.
