In August, Corunna Public Schools will begin to look at creating a standards based report
card for grades K-5th grades. This is my reason for beginning to research this topic.

Why do this route? The Process You’ll know you have arrived when.. Specialists to use Tying it to:
Ed Yes! NCLB MI- Plan
PROCESS As a group read and discuss Use “Terms of Endearment” (how high
standards connect to grade level expectations) Ask staff to locate school’s current status along
the standards journey Agree on timeline of “Next steps” Agree to practice standards based lesson
planning Work to involve everyone in community Agree to include cross-disciplinary units Build a tracking system
WHY? FROM:
Sorting students Emphasis on what’s taught School success doesn’t predict life-long
earnings TO:
Educating all students Emphasis on what’s learned School success does predict life-long
earnings
BENEFITS FOR PARENTS Parents can see exactly what their child
can and cannot do. Letter grades do not tell parents what skills they have mastered or what skills they are working on
Concrete skills and knowledge are listed All students are evaluated on the same
grade -appropriate skills Keep teachers and parents focused on
student learning goals
BENEFITS FOR EDUCATORS Keeps teachers focused on what to teach Matches with state standards Helps in communicating to parents the
skills their child has or has not yet mastered
Data collected shows specifically what class has mastered
Provides continuity across grade levels Encourages cross-disciplinary teaching
