Reporting
"According
to McTighe, reporting documents should distinguish between the
following factors:
- achievement
- performance relative to identified learning outcomes based on
collected evidence and judged against established criteria
- progress
- degree of growth toward mastery of the learning outcomes,
based on a performance continuum
- work
habits - includes effort, completion of assignments,
behaviour and attendance"
"...
each
of these factors should be reported separately.
