How We Know Students are Really Learning without Grades

Every parent wants to know how their child is doing. Are they learning? Are they on grade level?  How do you know?

Shannon, our Director of Teaching and Learning, talks about how we assess and communicate student progress. She covers:

• facilitator observation
• student work and presentations
• applied understanding
• direct skill assessment
• narrative student reports

and what it means to focus directly on student learning, rather than the achievement of a number or letter grade.
