MY LEARNING EPISODE OVERVIEW

If we have to work with parents for the education of children, we have to inform them about their children’s progress in school in the same way that we give the students feedback regarding their performance. Schools vary in their practice of reporting students’ performance. This is what you will find out in this Episode.

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:

State the reason(s) why grades must be reported to parents Describe what must be done to make grade reporting meaningful

I will be rated along the following:

a. Quality of my observations and documentationb. Completeness and depth of my analysis

9REPORTING STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE

____________________________________________________

MY INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES

MY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

c. Depth and clarity of my classroom observation-based reflections,d. Completeness, organization, clarity of my portfolio ande. Time of submission of my portfolio


1. Reporting students’ performance at least four times a year is a regular practice of schools. A card-getting day is usually set for this purpose.

2. Reporting students’ performance is done usually by means of a Report Card.

MY LEARNING ESSENTIALS

3. Reporting student’s progress to parents is a must. This is a way to show parents their children’s progress in relation to the standards. These standards are supposed to have been explained to parents and students at the beginning of the school year.


I will analyze and reflect in information gathered.

I will observe a Homeroom meeting.

I will research on best practices on the reporting of grades.

With my learning partner, I will interview at least two (2) Resource Teachers in different schools on classroom and school practice in giving feedback to students and reporting children’s performance to parents

I will read My Learning Essentials.

I will come up with my learning portfolio.
