The Report Card EX – Exemplary Strengths EV – Evident Strengths EM – Emerging Strengths SR – Network of Support Required IPP – Individual Program Plan Summative evaluations will be based on teachers’ judgments of the consistency with which students demonstrate those strengths and the degree of support required to incorporate them within the learning environment. Some Practicalities Elementary and middle report cards are changing this year – where they have previously existed, effort marks and sections for personal growth and work habits will be removed, and all eight report card stems will be added. For the Ends where reporting will not be undertaken this school year, schools will use NA. As high school report cards do not currently allow for outcome based reporting, a separate Ends 3, 4, 5 reporting form is being created for high schools. This reporting form will be accessible within the SIRS environment and will be used in all high schools across the system. Very few changes have been made to the Kindergarten report card as the Ends 3, 4, 5 reporting indicators have a great deal of overlap with specific learning expectations from the Alberta Kindergarten Program Statement and are already represented on the current CBE Kindergarten report card. Report Cards for Special Education and other unique programs will be reviewed during the 2010-2011 school year. Where possible, the Ends 3, 4, 5 report card stems will be added to existing report cards. Conflicts, overlaps and other unique circumstances will be addressed to support a system wide perspective on Ends 3, 4, 5 assessment and reporting.
