We are having to do this this year, but we are struggling with what "grades" do we still keep. I would love to see some samples of what some schools are doing. We have been working on common assessments for all standards, but it is difficult to turn a grade into a 1-2-3 for the report cards. Help!!!

We may use this next year to convert into a grade. Does anyone have such a checklist already in place, or know of where I can view some samples? Also, if you already do this, how does it work at your school? How do teacher's feel about using that? Is it the only assessment tool, or are skill grades still given? Are target tests a factor? I know, lots of q's, but I am on the committee to develop and implement this new assessment for our school, and I would like to make sure all of our bases are covered. Thanks! -- Elisa M.
