NEXT STEPS:
Provide all families the RCPS 2022-2023 Grading System information through this google site and as a printed document. The grading system created is to provide clear communication to all stakeholders including students, families, teachers, and administrators. The use of it during the 2022-2023 school year will help RCPS find the right fit for the school community.
Gather grading data and analyzing the information to determine if the 40-100 point grade scales
appropriately represents a student's performance.
Encourage all stakeholders to participate in the "next steps" of this process. The process will include light reading of research on a monthly basis provided to the all community stakeholders through this site.
Provide progress updates through this site.
Deliver three stakeholder surveys throughout the school year and post results through this site.
Study and discuss a system the would communicate to families their child's level of success with work-based expectations and skills. The division would work with area colleges, universities, employers, and teachers to identify desirable attributes (example: dependability, punctuality, ability to complete a task within a deadline, ability to problem solve and communicate effectively, etc.). Once the desirable attributes are identified, RCPS would work to create a skills progress system (PreK-12) as well as grade rubrics to communicate to the school community the work-based behavioral expectations and the levels of proficiency. Some people refer to this process as assigning a student a "Grit" score.
