FIELD STUDY 2 - LEARNING EPISODE 18 GRADING AND REPORTING
REFLECT
What personal message do I get from these students’ scores, grades and parents?
The scores and parent feedback show me the importance of continued support and communication between teachers and parents. I see the need for tailored teaching methods to help students struggling in Math and English, as well as the value of encouraging more parent involvement.
Work on my Artifacts
Compile samples of scoring and grade computation that you did. The tests and products/portfolios that you score, and Students’ Report Card must belong to the same students to see development. Include snapshots of PTCs and list of parents’/guardians’ comments during PTC and how these comments were addressed
As a future teacher, I know that tracking student progress is crucial for supporting their growth. Although I can't provide snapshots, the grades we recorded by my resource teacher show how students performed throughout the term. Their grades were based on written tests, performance tasks, and quarterly assessments. While some students struggled with subjects like Math and English, they did better in hands-on activities like projects and presentations. These tasks allowed them to show their creativity and deeper understanding of the material.
During the Parent-Teacher Conference (PTC), many parents expressed concern about their children's difficulties in Math and English. I recommended extra practice at home, online resources, tutoring, and group study. I also suggested focusing on understanding the material and using study guides to improve test-taking skills.
The PTC showed me how important it is to keep an open line of communication with parents. Some parents were very engaged and eager to help their children, but others couldn't attend. This made me realize that I need to find ways to involve more parents in their children's education.
I will continue reviewing students' grades and adjusting my teaching strategies based on their needs. By tracking their progress and working closely with parents, I hope to help all students succeed, especially those struggling in certain areas.
