Consent Agenda Subject : 7.24 Kindergarten Reporting System, presented by Marcus Chambers, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum, and recommended by the Superintendent for approval. Meeting : Aug 12, 2013 - Regular Meeting Type : Action (Consent) Fiscal Impact : No Recommended Action : Motion to approve the Kindergarten Reporting System for the 2013-2014 school year. Public Content Rather than a typical report card, Kindergarten teachers use an age- appropriate comprehensive reporting system. The system includes a quarterly assessment checklist that is fully aligned to the Common Core Standards. In addition to the quarterly checklists, the system includes a Teacher Guide with exact directions for administering each assessment element, A Parent Guide, a mid-quarter parent progress report and an appendix. The appendix includes all resources and tools to administer the assessment system. A group of Kindergarten teachers meet annually to revise the assessment system; every item in the appendix has been developed by the set of teachers. As of the 2011-2012 school year, the Kindergarten program included full implementation of the Common Core Standards. As such, there have been some dramatic changes in instruction and assessment for this set of teachers and students. The assessment system is completed on-line; MIS has developed a program that calculates each individual skill score once the teacher has entered the raw score. A Gr. K representative per school is trained to serve as a resource in communicating the annual revisions. Upon approval by the School Board, the Parent Guide will be available on the OCSD website.
