In Wisconsin’s Green Bay School District, not only will the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) mean changes for schools’ curricula, but the report cards they send home to parents as well, the Green Bay Press Gazette reported.
Schools that are implementing the CCSS are expected to have new report cards in place by the 2013-2014 academic year, the news source stated. Format-wise, the report cards are not expected to look that different from those that are currently sent to students’ homes. However, the information they contain is expected to provide parents with an understanding of how their children are performing in terms of meeting the benchmarks set by the new Standards.
In the Green Bay School District, pupils and their parents can expect to see numerical marks, the news outlet reported. A student who receives a one is not meeting expectations, while a four indicates that he or she is exceeding expectations.
Schools that have embraced the new Standards have done so to provide their students with the knowledge and skills they will require in order to succeed in college and beyond, according to the CCSS’ website.
