Introduction: Philosophy and Texas Education Code  \nGrading is the process by which a teacher assesses student learning and progress towards mastery of course objectives as aligned with the Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) . Grading is a part of the teaching and learning process. This process must include establishing clear learning goals, setting standards, and evaluative criteria which guide student learning so changes in instruction are based on assessment data. Additionally, the grading process should provide clear and consistent feedback to students that motivates them to focus and ultimately take responsibility for their own learning.  \nReporting is the process by which the teacher communicates information to students and  \nparents/guardians about student mastery of course content and skills. While the reporting process includes report cards and progress reports, it may also require a combination of emails, telephone conversations, and conferences as appropriate.  \nThe purpose of this handbook is to provide a consistent set of grading and reporting expectations. The expectations adhere to the Texas Education Code (TEC), the Texas Administrative Code (TAC), and the White Settlement ISD Board policies and regulations.  \nThis handbook:  \n● describes the district’s grading system which all teachers will implement;  \n● encourages a better understanding of grading, reporting, and promotion by teachers, parents/guardians, and students; and,  \n● fosters consistency in grading and reporting student achievement for promotion and retention practices across the district.  \nTeachers, students, and parents/guardians should understand the impact of grades on high school class rank [Board Policy EIC (LOCAL)] and on promotion and retention [Board Policy EIE (LOCAL)] .  \nII. Grading and Reporting for Learning and Mastery  \nPhilosophy  \nEffective teachers use grading as part ofthe intricate process of learning. Using the TEKS as the foundation of the curriculum, they begin by thoughtfully considering what the students already know and what they need to learn. WSISD has a district developed Scope and Sequence as well as elementary district curriculum guides for all subject areas. Teachers should:  \n● construct assignments and tests that will both teach and assess students’ learning  \n● establish fair, clear standards and criteria, while applying those criteria consistently to student work  \n● use previously disclosed rubrics when assessing the students' skills  \n● offer feedback to their students in the form of comments and grades  \n● provide meaningful opportunities within the classroom setting for their students to assess their own work  \n● apply what they learn from the grading process to improve their teaching  \n3  \nTests and quizzes yielding numerical grades represent only one asp","cbCaihaM9F31NmLj","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaihaM9F31NmLj","pdf",761427,18,"English","# Introduction: Philosophy and Texas Education Code\n## Grading\n## Reporting\n## Purpose of the Handbook\n# Grading and Reporting for Learning and Mastery\n## Philosophy\n## Tests and Quizzes\n## Texas Education Code Compliance\n## Mastery","[{\"question\":\"What is grading in WSISD’s handbook and how is it used?\",\"answer\":\"Grading assesses student learning and progress toward mastery of course objectives aligned to TEKS.
