PERFORMANCE LEVEL INDICATORS

There are three levels of performance noted on the Continuous Progress Report using a letter indicator system (M, D, N; X indicates Learning Target has not been introduced) to describe progress and growth over time. A descriptor for each indicator is provided below:

ACADEMIC GROWTH LEVEL INDICATORS

Progress reporting uses growth indicators that measure and describe growth/progress over a defined period of time. An indicator of “M” is the expected goal for students, which indicates that the student independently meets the grade level Learning Targets.  The expectation is that most students will achieve an “M” by the end of the year for each grade-level learning standard.

M = Meets Learning Targets – An “M” indicates that the student independently met grade level Learning Targets.  The student requires no additional support or assistance in successfully demonstrating grade-level skills and concepts learned and mastered. 

D=Developing toward Learning Targets – A “D” indicates that the student is developing foundational skills to master the grade level Learning Targets.  His/her current level of progress/growth is characterized as requiring consistent teacher support to ensure progress/growth.

N=Not Meeting Learning Targets - An “N” indicates that the student has not developed foundational skills necessary to master grade level Learning Targets.

X= Not Assessed or Taught at this Time – An “X” indicates that the Learning Target(s) has not been introduced. All Learning Targets on grade-level progress reports will be taught by the end of the school year.  An “X” may also indicate an accommodation for a special education student with progress being documented through the IEP progress report in lieu of a mark on the Continuous Progress Report.
