The standards drive our curriculum and assessment.

Assessments:
We will use a variety of assessments throughout the year, to monitor the progress of each student. We will use formal, informal, and normed assessments to evaluate mastery. Assessments will be conducted 1:1, small group, and in whole group settings. Observations will be noted, as well. The results of these assessments will guide us in individualizing instruction for each student.
Grading:
Grading will be based on “3” (proficient) – Applies skills independently and/or meets IEP goals. A “2” (partially proficient) – Student applies skills appropriate to grade level/or meets IEP goals. A “1” (below proficient) – The students needs more time to develop skills appropriate for grade level or IEP.
