Finding and Reading Your Student’s proficiency Scores
How do I find and read my student’s Progress Report?
1. Log into ParentVUE.
2. Click on Documents on the left side and select the most recent report card
The Progress Report example below shows a student’s end-of-progress grade for each standard that was taught in each class. The example shows scores for a sample science class. Over the course of the year, students and families will see students’ progress on the standards in each reporting period.
How do I view my student’s scores in Grade Book?
Families can view student progress towards standards through StudentVUE and ParentVUE. Below are options to view student scores.
1. Log into ParentVUE.
2. Click on Documents on the left side and select the most recent report card
2. Then click on a specific class. This will expand to show all of the standards (in blue) that have been taught and assessed for that class. The Mark column show the current proficiency score for that standard. The legend below explains what each proficiency level means.
3. Make sure that you are in “Standards View” NOT Assignments View, on the top right. Then click Expand All so you can see the assignments that are connected to each standard.
You’ll see that students receive several scores for each class. This is because we teach, grade, and report on standards that students demonstrate through assignments and assessments. For example, this sample student has been learning skills and knowledge connected to three standards (next to the red arrows) in this class. Students receive a proficiency score (in the red rectangle) for each assignment. The most recent score a student receives for each standard is the score that is reported on (in the red oval).
How Standards-Based Teaching, Learning, and Grading Works in Class
All year, teachers are assessing students’ understanding of key standards through assignments, projects, discussions, exams, etc. Teachers use standards-based rubrics to assess student work. Teachers share the rubric, sometimes an assignment checklist, and often a model or example with students. You can also request a rubric from teachers.
We encourage a culture of continual growth towards excellence through iteration. Iteration means multiple attempts at learning a skill or developing an understanding, with the goal of improvement. It is not expected that students are demonstrating proficiency of the standards the first time the standards are practiced and assessed. Along with a standard proficiency score, students will also receive feedback on their performance of the standard, so they can continue their learning and growth.
After an assignment or assessment is graded, students will receive a proficiency score show up in Synergy. In their class, students will engage in reflection and review options for revision and improvement.
