Teacher share out of Report Card concerns

No rubric for the elements

can we use the rubric in FI?
have been told FI assessments do not equal grades (they are
formative)
there are not FI rubrics for every subject
families dont have those rubrics to use to understand the grade.
These are year long targets, what do quarter one expectations look like?
So many elements
35 things! We dont have time
Do we pick what we want?
will there be an audit?
we need communication on this issue so we are meeting
expectations
No training provided for new report card.
Where is the cheat sheet?
how will we receive feedback from the district on our practice?
Language of the elements
As a parent, I cant understand
complete jargon and not meant for students and families to
understand
they are year long targets, what does it look like now?
If it is something that NO 2nd grader can do, are they a 3 because
they are actually on grade level and the standard is too high, or a 1 because they
cant do something that is unattainable for anyone at their age?
Condescending response from T&L when teacher voiced concerns
Loring School Action Steps

Principal Gibbs will draft a letter for T&L

send additional concerns
Teachers:
email amy.jones@mpls.k12.mn.us
individually
work as a grade level team
loring email as a whole

Dont want until Friday for grades, past on historical evidence, the
program will most likely crash do to overload
As a grade level team:
decide what elements to score
write a parent letter to accompany the report cards
