Class Profile

Class profile is a tool to provide a snapshot of the class strengths, stretches, class-wide goals, as well as individual needs.

Teachers could create a student dimension inventory (See https://blogsomemoore.com/planning-templates-2/) from this that includes specific interests and strengths, supports needed, as well as targeted core competencies for ALL individual students.  This would be very helpful in guiding instruction and assessment the teacher utilizes in the classroom.

Strength-Based Comments

Strength-based comments focus on what was learned or achieved, identifying the strengths, and providing specific examples to clarify broad statements.  They are directly connected to learning standards and phrase deficiencies as challenges while providing the next steps to address these challenges.

Response to Intervention - Tier 1,2,3

Response to Intervention (RTI) is a multi-tiered system of support for all learners, particularly those in need of support. Ultimately, RTI is a school-wide prevention system that focuses on identifying, teaching and monitoring students experiencing difficulties.

Types of Communicating Student Learning

Point of Contact

Points in the calendar where teachers communicate student progress to parents. The communication needs to be specific to the student and where they are in relation to the course/subject. It should give the parents an understanding of how their child is doing overall. The language of the provincial proficiency scale should be used. The format of communication is flexible. It could include:

• Provincial Performance Standards
• Teacher created rubrics
• Portfolios
• Email
• Phone call

Student-Led Conferences

The Student-Led Conferences are an opportunity for the teacher, student, and parents to interact and for the student to showcase their learning. At the end of the conference, the parents should have an understanding of how their child is doing overall.

MyEd BC Report Card

The formal report cards will be completed twice a year. Having a mid-year report card will assist with students leaving for other districts and will provide parents with a formal update on how their child is doing.
