Information for Families Regarding MYP Criterion Grading
As
an International Baccalaureate district, we use criteria provided by IB to
guide our curriculum and assessments. Each content area has 4
criteria…Criterion A, B, C, and D. Criterion based grading allows us to see
what students know and are able to do; it also allows students to ascertain
what they need to do in order to continue to grow as learners. As a district,
we believe it is important that you, as parents/guardians, also know how your
student in progressing.
We are pleased to announce that we are using Infinite
Campus to report student criterion grading. Please see the Q and A below for further information:
Q: Where can I
find the criteria reporting for my students?
A: Infinite
Campus.
Q: How often is
the criteria reported?
A: Each
criterion (A, B, C, D) is reported two times a year.
· If you student
is in grades 5 and 6 you will be able to see your student’s criteria reporting
by January 28th and June 17th on the Parent Portal.
· If your
student is in grades 7-10 you will be able to see your student’s criteria
reporting after Quarter 2 and Quarter 4 on the Parent Portal.
Q: What is the
range for each criterion?
A: Each
criterion is assessed on a score of 1-8. Scores 5-6 are considered grade-level.
Q: Is this
numeric grade(1-8) for the each criterion included in the student grade?
A: While we use
the criterion rubric to assessed student work, and this (as with all rubrics)
impacts the grade, it is not a direct correlation. There are other things that
go into a student’s course grade.
Q: Where can I
find the explanation for the criteria for each content area.
A: The rubrics are posted on The Office of
Instruction website.
