KPS Standards Based Grading Policy
Kinchafoonee Primary School uses standards-based grading to accurately communicate the progress students are making on learning the district identified priority standards for each grade level and subject area. These learning targets were identified by district teachers as the foundational learning that students need to master in order to be successful in the next grade level. Students are given common grade level assessments to measure mastery of each priority standard and scored based on a common rubric. The report card communicates whether a student is showing Mastery (3), Progressing toward mastery (2), or Limited Progress toward mastery (1) for each learning target. Teachers provide differentiated instruction and reassessments based on assessment data. Every student is given the opportunity to show mastery of all of the priority standards in order to show readiness for promotion to the next grade level.
