4b. Maintaining accurate records
I maintain accurate records through the recording of grading date of students progress and efforts. Grades are record in our Teacher PowerSchool system, attendance is taken daily, progress monitoring is regularly taken, records are maintained through report cards.
Below are screen shots of my students' progress. There's a noticeable difference between the pre-test and post-test results. To help see the visual difference in growth, I've created a bar graph, too.
Elements of Component 4b are:
Indicators include:
Component 4b: Artifact List
- Student completion of assignments: Most teachers, particularly at the secondary level, need to keep track of student completion of assignments, including not only whether the assignments were actually completed, but students' success in completing them.
- Student progress in learning: In order to plan instruction, teachers need to know where each student "is" in his or her learning. This information may be collected formally or informally, but must be updated frequently.
- Non-instructional records: Non-instructional records encompass all the details of school life for which records must be maintained, particularly if they involve money. Examples are such things as knowing which students have returned their permissions slips for a field trip, or which students have paid for their school pictures.
Indicators include:
- Routines and systems that track student completion of assignments
- Systems of information regarding student progress against instructional outcomes
- Processes of maintaining accurate non-instructional records
