| The Standards-Based Report Card |
| A standards-based report card is one of the most rewarding, tangible benefits of implementing a standards-based grading environment in the classroom. This type of report card will help a school assess and communicate the true academic strengths and weaknesses of a student by breaking down the student’s proficiency into its component skills. |
| Conventional report cards fail to provide teachers, students, and parents with an accurate picture of what a student really knows or might do to improve in a particular subject. The standards-based report card is a real-time reflection of a student’s current comprehension and skill level, as prescribed by your district and/or state academic standards and benchmarks. |
