The Failed Potential of the Progress Reports - SchoolBook - 0 views

Jeff Bernstein on 01 Dec 11In November 2007, when our school received its first progress report grade, an A, I wrote a letter to our staff to say that I was pleased with our grade. However, I also told our staff that "I believe the progress report fails to capture the essence of a school, and it fails to measure the things that make our school such a great place." Four years later, with the progress report on its fifth iteration, I think my letter remains an accurate appraisal of the most important rating tool now in use by the Department of Education.
