Teachers spend hours preparing them but are families actually reading them? There are so many ways to make learning visible throughout the year; student work, portfolios, conversations, conferences, reflections and feedback.

A report card can serve a purpose: communicating a professional judgment about achievement at a particular point in time. But it shouldn't be the primary way we tell the story of learning.

What if instead of asking, “How can we make report cards better?” we asked: “How can we make student learning visible all year long?”

My favorite restaurant has great food but terrible service. I keep going back because I love the food. The service dampens the experience, but the food makes up for it. The same thing happens with our students.

Students can demonstrate strong learning while struggling with organization, punctuality, or completing work. Both matter. But they aren't the same thing. Grades should communicate learning, not behaviour.

A system that relies on zeros to motivate students isn't creating motivation. It's measuring who the system is working for....and who continues to be left behind.

2. You don't have to assess all your students on the same day - If you're making a judgment about what a student knows and can do, you can gather that evidence when the student is ready to demonstrate it.

3. You don't have to mark everything -The goal isn't to collect as much evidence as possible. It's to gather enough quality evidence to confidently determine where the student is in relation to the learning.

Students use natural materials to represent time. Teachers can gather evidence of students’ understanding through observation, conversation and product. Remember. Not all students need to be assessed on the same day.
