IRC Codes
Here is a short video on how to access and review the interactive report card for evidence-based reporting courses:
The evidence-based grade portal is separated into three segments:
Segment 1: Growth (Not used in Grade Determination)
This area communicates information about the growth of each student. The following codes are used to indicate the observed growth trajectory of each student:
Segment 2: Academic Standards (Used in Grade Determination)
This area communicates information about the aptitude of each student. The following codes are used to indicate the mastery level of each student in the targets and standards of the course:
This area of the portal communicates information about the habits of work of each student, such as but not limited to homework, participation, on task behavior, executive functioning to name a few. Behavior evidence will be reported in the following areas:
Please note that if the student is behaving as expected no codes will be entered. Only when a teacher becomes concerned about one of these areas will they enter one of the three following codes.
Segment 4: Homework Log (Not used in Grade Determination)
This area of the portal communicates information about the status of homework (and possibly in class work and activities). In Evidence-Based Reporting homework can be more than just completion, rather it also can be about the predictive proficiency evidence it may produce.
There are several ways that a teacher or team may choose to review and use homework to promote learning:
For Instructional Purposes
In some cases a teacher may choose to give homework to have students prepare for the next day's lesson or to offer up opportunities for self-guided learning. In these cases the teacher will choose NOT to enter the homework event in the grade book.
For Completion
If a teacher is reviewing homework for completion only and IS NOT checking it for quality the teacher may use the following codes:
For Preparedness
For any Turned In work a teacher may also decide to communicate how the assignment demonstrates a student's preparedness for the future proficiency events (e.g. in class quizzes, projects, presentations, exams). In this case the teacher may use the following codes:
For Evidence
For any Turned In work a teacher may also decide to communicate how the assignment demonstrates a student's proficiency events (e.g. class quizzes, projects, presentations, exams). In this case the teacher will enter the homework in the Academic Standards Segment 2 of the grade book. See the description of this section above.
Segment 1: Growth (Not used in Grade Determination)
This area communicates information about the growth of each student. The following codes are used to indicate the observed growth trajectory of each student:
- AG: Adequate Growth
- MG: Minimal Growth
- FG: Failing to Grow
- I: Insufficient Evidence
Segment 2: Academic Standards (Used in Grade Determination)
This area communicates information about the aptitude of each student. The following codes are used to indicate the mastery level of each student in the targets and standards of the course:
- 4: Exceeds Expectations
- 3: Meets Expectations
- 2: Approaching Expectations
- 1: Still Developing
- M: Missing Evidence (Hasn't Turned in Yet)
- N: Missing Evidence (Refusing to Do)
- *: Anything marked with a * is NOT IN THE GRADE CALCULATION!
This area of the portal communicates information about the habits of work of each student, such as but not limited to homework, participation, on task behavior, executive functioning to name a few. Behavior evidence will be reported in the following areas:
- Self-Management & Self-Awareness
- Social Awareness & Relationship Skills
- Responsible Decision Making
Please note that if the student is behaving as expected no codes will be entered. Only when a teacher becomes concerned about one of these areas will they enter one of the three following codes.
- CN - Concerned about the listed SEL domain
- BLANK - No Concern about the listed SEL domain
- PS - Child's behavior in the listed SEL domain is so strong that it is POSITIVELY influencing the culture of the classroom.
Segment 4: Homework Log (Not used in Grade Determination)
This area of the portal communicates information about the status of homework (and possibly in class work and activities). In Evidence-Based Reporting homework can be more than just completion, rather it also can be about the predictive proficiency evidence it may produce.
There are several ways that a teacher or team may choose to review and use homework to promote learning:
For Instructional Purposes
In some cases a teacher may choose to give homework to have students prepare for the next day's lesson or to offer up opportunities for self-guided learning. In these cases the teacher will choose NOT to enter the homework event in the grade book.
For Completion
If a teacher is reviewing homework for completion only and IS NOT checking it for quality the teacher may use the following codes:
- T: Turned In
- TL: Turned In Late
- M: Missing
For Preparedness
For any Turned In work a teacher may also decide to communicate how the assignment demonstrates a student's preparedness for the future proficiency events (e.g. in class quizzes, projects, presentations, exams). In this case the teacher may use the following codes:
- P: Prepared= Student has completed homework, quick checks, & non-evidential events in a manner that shows they are ready to experience full proficiency events and there is high likelihood of proficiency development.
- PP: Partially Prepared= Student has completed homework, quick checks, & non-evidential events in a manner that shows they are ready to experience full proficiency events BUT likelihood of proficiency development is low.
- NP: Not Prepared= Student has completed (or not completed) homework, quick checks, non-evidential events in a manner that shows they are NOT ready to experience full proficiency events NOR is there any likelihood of proficiency development.
- M: Missing
For Evidence
For any Turned In work a teacher may also decide to communicate how the assignment demonstrates a student's proficiency events (e.g. class quizzes, projects, presentations, exams). In this case the teacher will enter the homework in the Academic Standards Segment 2 of the grade book. See the description of this section above.
There is also a section that houses information about the student's academic, social, and personal behavior. This is not factored into the grade but used to support the student's growth while here at Stevenson.
