Progress Reporting
Assessment of student progress in relation to outcomes outlined in curriculum is important for the following reasons.
•Teachers can change or refine instructional plans to ensure learning activities are appropriate for all students.•Allows for reporting student progress clearly to students and parents.•Aids in decision making regarding student placement.•Program effectiveness can be evaluated and programs revised to improve student learning.
Purpose of Reporting Progress
• Communicates a summary of learning to students and parents
• Invites deeper, more helpful communication with parents to examine what has been learned, how well it has been learned, what remains to be learned and possible ways parents may assist in further learning
