9 REPORTING STUDENTS’
PERFORMANCE

____________________________________________________

FIELD STUDY
MY LEARNING EPISODE OVERVIEW

If we have to work with parents for the education of children, we have to

inform them about their children’s progress in school in the same way that we
pisodes
give the students feedback regarding their performance. Schools vary in their
practice of reporting students’ performance. This is what you will find out in this
Episode.

MY INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES

At the end of this Episode, I must be able to:

 State the reason(s) why grades must be reported to parents

 Describe what must be done to make grade reporting meaningful

MY PERFORMANCE CRITERIA

I will be rated along the following:

a. Quality of my observations and documentation

b. Completeness and depth of my analysis
c. Depth and clarity of my classroom observation-based reflections,
d. Completeness, organization, clarity of my portfolio and
e. Time of submission of my portfolio

 MY LEARNING ESSENTIALS

1. Reporting students’ performance at least four times a year is a regular

practice of schools. A card-getting day is usually set for this purpose.

2. Reporting students’ performance is done usually by means of a Report

Card.

3. Reporting student’s progress to parents is a must. This is a way to show

parents their children’s progress in relation to the standards. These
standards are supposed to have been explained to parents and students
at the beginning of the school year.
