Assessment
Procedures
The students in Resource have
had a psycho-education evaluation. Evaluation data and formal and informal
assessments are used to develop annual IEPs with appropriate goals and
objectives. Individual criterion for mastery of each objective is included in
the IEP as are methods by which mastery will be assessed.
Students will be assessed in
class both formally and informally with the use of the standard grading scale,
teacher checklists, and writing rubrics. Grades will reflect the students’
instructional level.
Reporting to the parents will
be done through quarterly progress reports. Goals and objectives on the IEP
will be updated quarterly and the results of each student’s progress will be
provided to his/her parent or guardian. Evaluations to measure progress will
include curriculum-based assessments, teacher-made tests, writing samples, and
teacher observation paired with the recording of data. District/State Wide
Tests will also be used to measure progress.
Grading Scale (used throughout Greenville County
School District)
Grades in Resource are
determined by instructional level, not grade placement. Grades are given for
Reading, Language, and Math only for students who receive more than 50% of
their subject instruction from a resource teacher.
