Preparation and Distribution

•Preparation - separate report card formats for 1-6, 7 and 8, and 9-12. ( www.edu.gov.mb.ca/k12/assess/report_card.html )

•Delivery and Return - to be decided upon by schools or divisions.

•Reporting Frequency -

• Grades 1- 8 (and non-semestered high schools) - 3 reporting periods, 2 ‘term’ periods and a final report.

• Semestered high schools - 2 reporting periods, 1 mid-term, 1 final per term

• Local option for grades 9-12 - may be 4 reporting periods for non-semestered courses in an otherwise semestered school so that reporting periods align.

Student Programming (Grades 1-8)

• - critical to accurate and meaningful reporting

• - unless otherwise indicated, the report card provides information about a student’s achievement relative to grade-level curricula.

• -One of the following codes is used if the expectations for a student are different from the grade-level curriculum in a subject.

✦ EAL (English as an Additional Language): Achievement is based on expectations that focus on English language learning.

✦ L (Litteratie francaise, Francais Program): Achievement is based on expectations that focus on French language learning.

✦ IEP (Individual Education Plan): Achievement is based on expectations that reflect special learning needs. (Due to, for example, transiency, gaps in learning, or a cognitive disability)

1.2 Foundational Principles for Grading

• Academic grades are based on curricular learning outcomes, and reported separately from learning behaviours

• Grades should reflect a student’s most recent and consistent learning

• Greater consideration of evidence collected in the final term shows the cumulative nature of learning

• Grades are based on individual student achievement, not group achievement

• Evidence of achievement (e.g., documentation system, work samples) is used to help determine a grade for academic learning and some processes might provide evidence for learning behaviours

Page 25: Manitoba Provincial Report Card

Academic Achievement Scales - Numerical and Percentage

Grades How Learning is Reported

1 to 6A 1-4 numerical scale is used to report on achievement in each within-subject category. There are no overall subject grades.

7 to 8A 1-4 numerical scale is used to report on achievement in each subject category. The percentage scale is used to report overall subject grades.

9 to 12The percentage scale is used to report overall subject grades for each subject. There is no reporting of achievement for subject area categories.

Codes used in Grades 1-6 and Grades 7 - 8

Course Complete: Final grade showing sufficient evidence of learning for Grade 11 and 12 Physical Education/Health Education only.

CO

Course Incomplete: Final grade showing insufficient evidence of learning for Grade 11 and 12 Physical Education/Health Education. May also be used in other courses but not as a final grade.

IN

No exam applies NENo mark for the school-based final exam or provincial test, where applicable NM

NA Not applicable

INIncomplete; not enough evidence available to determine a grade at this time

Codes used in Grades 9 to 12

Page 33: Manitoba Provincial Report Card

Codes (cont.)

•- In the rare cases when an IN or NA is used, such as those identified below, it must be approved by the principal and a comment should explain its use

• - the code ‘NA’ (not applicable) may be used...

✦ when a student’s programming is coded as ‘EAL’, ‘IEP’, or ‘L’ (Francais only) and the student is not addressing certain content as a result of their individual programming.

✦ when certain aspects of a subject have not yet been addressed

- The code ‘IN’, ‘Incomplete’, may be used...✦ if a student’s level of achievement cannot be assessed (e.g., extended absence or being new to the school with no information from the previous school available)

Page 34: Manitoba Provincial Report Card

Assigning Grades

•To determine grades, the teacher analyzes the evidence, noting the most recent and consistent learning aligned with the subject area categories, as appropriate, and makes a judgement to summarize the current level of achievement.

•Term grades reflect a student’s achievement as demonstrated from the beginning of the course. Greater consideration should be given to learning demonstrated later in the course, as appropriate for the nature of the particular course and teaching approach.

4.5 Learning Behaviours

•At Grades 1 to 6, learning behaviours are reported once on the report card, along with a teacher comment.

•At Grades 7 to 12, the learning behaviours are reported for each subject.

•The reporting of learning behaviours appearing on a report card apply to the current reporting term only.

uses feedback for improvement.

• shows interest; asks questions• takes initiative• is curious - investigates questions, hypothesizes, estimates, analyzes• self-assesses work quality based on quality criteria• uses descriptive feedback to improve learning• uses criteria to provide descriptive feedback• explores themes and enriches topics through interest-based learning.• uses a variety of media for communications

Page 42: Manitoba Provincial Report Card

Learning BehavioursBehaviour Sample Indicators

Social ResponsibilityThe student demonstrates

citizenship and social skills that contribute to making the

Page 43: Manitoba Provincial Report Card

Teacher Comments

• Meaningful comments identify student strengths, pinpoint areas needing improvement, and provide suggestions as to how the student can improve. (strengths, challenges and next steps)

• Teachers are encouraged to personalize the comments for each student so that they are specific to the student’s levels of academic achievement and learning behaviour ratings.

• Other considerations:

• Language: - jargon-free, - respectful and constructive, - brief and concise, - free of superlatives and absolutes such as ‘best’, ‘always’, ‘never’, or vague words such as ‘appears to,’ ‘but’, ‘however’, - is congruent with the grading scale.

• Strengths and Learning Goals: - unique to the learner, - specific to the level of achievement relative to the report card and categories, - evidence-based, using evidence from a wide variety of assessment sources.

Page 44: Manitoba Provincial Report Card

Teacher Comments

•IF a child receives a grade of 1 or ND in any subject category, comments are REQUIRED.

• Don’t’s - include summaries of material taught during the term. (This can be communicated in other ways since space is limited)

Page 45: Manitoba Provincial Report Card

Quality Criteria

i.Comments follow the framework of addressing “strengths”, “challenges”, and “next steps” (practical, doable, timely) as appropriate.

ii.Comments are personalized for the student so that they are specific to the student’s levels of academic achievement and learning behaviour ratings.

iii.Comments consider the use of “Language” as outlined in Section 4.6 of the Report Card Support Document.

iv.Comments include “Strengths and Learning goals” for the student as outlined in Section 4.6 of the Report Card Support Document

v.Comments do not include summaries of material taught during the term, or scores/results from other kinds of measures such as non-prov. standardized assessments.

U UComments:Diego is a sensitive and soft spoken student who is becoming independent and who assumes responsibility for his learning. During daily routines and instructions, he is able to organize himself. As for using his time well, he does still require reminders to stay on task, especially during Physical Education classes. Diego is able to listen and at times ask clarifying questions. During group work, he is also able to work cooperatively by listening to others, by responding to the needs of others and by resolving conflicts in socially appropriate ways.
