TYPES OF GRADING AND REPORTING SYSTEM

Reported by: Cyra Mae R. Soreda

“Grading requires Thoughtful and Informed Professional Judgment!”

“Do Not Use Grades as Weapon!”

“Grading is NOT Essential to the Instructional Process.”

A. TRADITIONAL LETTER-GRADE SYSTEM

Students performance are summarized by means of letters.

Example:A stands for excellent, C stands for average, D stands for needing improvement , and F as a failure.

The pass or fail system utilizes a dichotomous grade system. Either a student has complied and reached certain standards, in which he passes or he failed to do so and he gets a failing mark.

B. PASS-FAIL

C. CHECKLIST OF OBJECTIVES The objectives of the course are enumerated. After each objective, the students’ level of achievement is indicated: Outstanding, Very Good, Good, Fair or Poor.

D. LETTERS TO PARENTS/GUARDIANS

Letters to parents and guardians are useful supplement to grades. However, they have limited value as sole report because they are very time consuming to prepare.

E. PORTFOLIOS A portfolio is a set of purposefully selected works with commentary by student and teacher.

Porfolios are useful for showing students’ strenghts and weaknesses, illustrating range of students’ work. Showing progress over time or stages of a project, teaching students about objectives /standards they are to meet.

F. PARENTS-TEACHER CONFERENCES

The parents of pupils come for a conference with the teacher to discuss the pupils’ progress. Portfolios, when available, are useful basis for discussion.

Conferences are useful for a two-way flow of information and getting more information and cooperation from the parents.
