This is an example of our report card for 3rd grade. On the report card is examples of performance/skill development, fitness testing, social/behavior skills and developmental activities for students to improve individual skills.

This method of assessment is one of the best ways to communicate with school administration and parents. Progress reports allow these people to see how each student is moving toward the ultimate goals of PE within a particular school. I like how these progress reports were very detailed, including the performance, fitness, and social skill levels. Scores were based on a 1-4 scale. In this way, each student will be able to analyze their strengths and improvements. Additionally, fitness scores can be compared to the average scores within the district, rather than just one particular class. This eliminates children to feel inferior to their classmates if they can not perform at the highest level. Furthermore, the idea of having these reports three times a year is beneficial for parents to help and encourage their children. These progress reports can serve as an advance warning for the final report card at the end of the marking period. The friendly reminders on the side allow students to analyze their effort within the classroom. Lastly, the back of the progress report lists ideas for students to develop the skills. If students are struggling, helpful tips are provided for both the child and the parent. Therefore, improvements can be tremendously made throughout the school year.

This is great! FitnessGram also provides a report of the students test results and compares them to other students of the same age and gender! This is on their computer program!

I thought this kind of assessment was very effective. It gave a chance to speak with parents and other higher people in the school district if they wanted. “Teaching teachers to think on their feet”, has performance and skill development for the certain skills being taught. It is based on 4-3-2-1 bases. Sending assessments home is not always a bad thing. More effective than just a report card sent home because it actually says what kids performances are and about their behavior. There are ideas for students to work on the back; which does have fitness gram standards for the kids. Students can work on their strengths and improvements.

I think this progress report is a great way for schools to communicate with parents what is going on in PE. Many parents never know what their children are doing in PE class and would probably be pleasantly surprised to see a report like this. It would give them a much better understanding of what their children are learning and what they need to work on. It makes our profession much more credible and relays the importance of what we are teaching. This assessment also gives students goals to work towards and encourages the parents to work on skills with their children. I especially like that this report includes a behavioral and social assessment. I feel that this is an important part of PE that often gets overlooked. Especially in elementary school PE class and on the playground are where students develop a lot of their social skills. I like that this assessment covers just about everything- even fitness testing- so that parents can see how their child is doing compared to the rest of the students. I also like that it's sent home three times a year so that parents and students can see how they are progressing. I think more schools should adopt this assessment and send home progress reports like these.

I feel like it is always important for teachers to have physical evidence of students' work throughout the school year. It is a great way to defend a grade given to a student when a parent challenges you. This way you can show them that their child did this well on ____ and did not do so well on ____. Very handy and creative assessment idea.

Where did you find your grading criteria for each grade level? I am creating my own report cards and K-2 is fairly simple, but I am having trouble with the criteria for 3-5. Any thoughts?
