EYSD Badging
In order to empower our students to learn, our teachers to teach, and our families to engage, Eastern York School District has committed to greater transparency of learning. We're proud to have fully transitioned to standards-referenced grading using a digital badging report card in grade K-5. This badging report card was designed, with teachers' input, to make students' progress easy to understand by all involved with our students' education.

EYSD has identified the most important knowledge and skills our students will need as they progress from grade to grade. As students achieve milestones on the way to demonstrating mastery, they will earn badges.
The badges will change as teachers assess mastery using a Learning Scale.
"Beginning" indicates a topic/skill that has been introduced to the class, and students need their teacher's support to complete tasks associated with it.
"Developing" indicates a topic/skill that students have shown to understand component parts of. While they may lack understanding of the big picture, they are learning and practicing some of the prerequisites required to be able to apply knowledge/skill.
"Proficient" indicates that students have shown a solid understanding of a topic or skill and are starting to apply that knowledge at least at the rigor of the standards set by the commonwealth.
Supporting resources will be added by our content experts to provide some examples of what kinds of activities students will be doing in school to practice skills and demonstrate their learning. These activities can serve as a guide for anyone working with our students in our schools or at home!
What's the difference?
What's the difference?
- Learning doesn't stop at the end of a marking period.
Not all students will acquire knowledge and skills at the same pace. Some will be able to demonstrate mastery sooner than their peers, while others may not until later on.
- Grades should reflect mastery of content or skills.
While class participation and homework completion may play a role in academic success, including behaviors or habits like these tend to inflate the overall picture of what a student is able to do.
