  2. Fundamentals to remember: • For the higher bands, it’s not a question of whether the student knows the content and skills, but how much the student can do with the content and skills. • A student who has mastered their current grade’s standards and benchmarks should receive a mark between 4 and 7, depending on how much they can do with the content and skills. • These grades are based on performance over a term, not decided on one piece of data like a Running Record or a Maths assessment. • They are allocated at the end of each reporting term not ‘built up to’ over a year (e.g.. a ‘7’ could be appropriate in term one not something a student builds up to by term three).

  7. 5- Good • The student fully understands the taught content, and can use the taught skills in a few different types of situations. • In situations involving the taught content and skills, the student usually analyzes situations, combines different content and skills, and makes conclusions based on evaluation of all available data. • The student occasionally provides their own creative solutions, useful ideas, and new ways of looking at things.

  8. 6 - Very Good • The student fully understands the taught content, and can use the taught skills in many different types of situations. • In situations involving the taught content and skills, the student always analyzes situations, combines different content and skills, and makes conclusions based on evaluation of all available data. • The student usually provides their own creative solutions, useful ideas, and new ways of looking at things.

  9. 7 - ExcellentWould apply to very few students • The student fully understands the taught content, and can use the taught skills in many different types of situations, hardly ever making mistakes or omissions. • In situations involving the taught content and skills, the student always analyzessituations, combines different content and skills, and makes conclusions based on evaluation of all available data. • The student always provides their own creative solutions, useful ideas, and new ways of looking at things.
