Chapter 14

This chapter discussed formats for report cards that are responsive. Ways that were presented to format report cards are the following; personal progress and achievement, standards, continuous progress report, and multiple categories within one subject. Report cards are important to keep clear and concise since they are seen by many different people. Communicating students' grades is one of the most important and ultimate outcomes of a class.

There really isn't any input allowed for teachers to give concerning the format of report cards, unless maybe in the lower grade levels. If we were able to choose the format of our report card, however, we would most likely choose the multiple categories within one subject approach. We feel that breaking down subjects to show different areas and how certain things are met is important and ideal to explain and express, especially in a report card. We also feel that continuous progress reports are a really good idea because they are always recent and display current status.
