II. How the Resource Teacher communicated learners’ assessment results and grades to parents.

The teacher communicated learner’s assessment results and grades to parents

through giving them the cards reflecting the student’s grades, her comments on

student’s performance, the student’s behaviors in the class, and the student’s

attendance. By this way, the parents would be guided as to the progress of their

children. If ever the parents have queries regarding their children’s grades, the teacher

had shown her class records in order to prove that what are written in the card are true

and not fabricated. The class record coincides to the information on the cards.

My Analysis

Scoring and Grading

It is easier to score the multiple choice test because the choices are given and

there is an exact answer which makes it easy to score. A question is good for one answer.

However, the essay type of test is difficult to score because there is no exact answer and

the answer in opinionated. The grammar, the unity of idea and the like should be

corrected and those make it hard to score.

Based on my actual computation of grades, the grades of the students were

derived from their quizzes, assignment, oral participation, project, and behavior in the

class.

The school uses the letter-grade system where: A (Approaching) 90 and above; P

(Proficient) 85-89; AP (Approaching Proficiency) 80-84; D (Developing) 75-79; and E

(Beginning) 74 and below.

Reporting

In the Homeroom meeting, the teacher’s reporting and communicating of grades

took place smoothly. The teacher made sure that her voice was well modulated where

everyone was able to listen to her carefully. She also made sure that the transition of

information are well organized. The parents also behaved accordingly and in fact they

had taken down notes all essential information given by the teacher. The teacher was

calmed in addressing the parents’ questions.

My Reflections

In grading, reporting and scoring especially essay, I will set criteria to make sure

that I will be guided how to score such test. I will make sure that the criteria are of

relevance to the type of test and achievable in the given period of time. In scoring essay, I

will see to it that I will be checking the outputs of my students in one setting to avoid

mood shifts. Possibly, I will not look at the names of the students before I check the

papers also to avoid bias. I will do these things to fairly score any outputs and to promote

learning.

My Portfolio

Schools practice effective reporting by ensuring that parents are aware of everything that happens. The police should also be involved in order to ensure effective reporting happens, as well. The schools see to it that everything that happens in school is clearly communicated to stakeholders especially to parents.

In grading practices, schools see to it that grades of students must be reflected on students’ achievement in a given subject area. Components not related to student performance should not affect student grades. Summative assessments include products and performances reflective of students’ knowledge and skills at the end of a time period or unit of study. Summative assessments are used as the primary component of grades that accurately reflect student performance. Multiple forms of summative assessments need to be administered to provide the most accurate picture. Final exams or end of course exams, although an acceptable component of student grades, should not be the main or only form of summative assessment. Homework is used to provide practice opportunities for students and is typically not used as a component of an achievement grade unless some specific homework could be considered a summative assessment. Formative assessments are tools used to provide teachers with information about the strengths and struggles of students in order to adjust teaching to meet student needs. Formative assessments are not used within grade calculations. Meaning, grades must be consistently and critically considered in order to have a just grading practice.

Schools often use rubrics in order to score tests fairly. Scores are used as basis in diagnosing whether or not the students really learn. And make further discussions or proceed to the next lesson.
