The Other Side of the Report Card (Assessing Students′ Social, Emotional, and Character Development)

To better serve the whole child, look at the whole report card.

Although parents and teachers spend more time in conferences talking about behavior than they do about rubrics and test scores,  too many teachers are still guessing when it comes to using outdated behavior ratings and comments to describe the whole child. With this book, you’ll take report cards to the next level, integrating social-emotional learning and character development into any grading system. Resources include

• Guided exercises for analyzing existing report cards
• Suggested report card designs
• Tips on improving teacher-parent communication
• Case studies
