Outcomes will correlate with NYS Physical Education Standards as well as the National PE Standards
TYWLS of Astoria Grading Policy Overview for Students 2022-2023
Instead of receiving only one grade for an entire class, each student is given a rating for each skill in that class. We call those skills outcomes! Outcomes are year or semester long-for some electives. Many schools use this as a way to assess students, including the whole state of Maine!
We use Shared Outcomes that integrate “21st century skills”. Every teacher, in every subject uses these outcomes. You will notice jumprope will show the same BIG skills for each class, but the TARGET skills in each class may be different. You can access jumprope online 24 hours a day, there is a link on the school website: tywls-astoria.org
Shared Outcome: is the category that the skill fits into. These categories are 21st century skills needed to be successful in college and beyond. (Plan, Argue, Discern, Communicate, Conclude, Be Precise, Collaborate, Create, Innovate, Investigate)
Within an outcome, students either Meet Standards (MS), Exceed Standards (ES) or “Not Yet” (NS)
- MS means a student is performing this skill at grade level.
- ES means this student’s work is consistently above and beyond what is required.
- NY means students haven’t shown they can perform this task consistently, YET. They will have opportunities to work on these skills in the future.
Outcome Target: is another word for those skills that are worked on in each individual class. These are connected to the state standards for each course.
Snapshots:
TYWLS of Astoria is annualized, meaning that official transcripts are created at the end of the school year with courses running as year-long. The exceptions are electives that may be run by semester and intensives - grades for these courses are entered at the end of the course.
- Students have constant access to their progress via the jumprope online grading platform
- Students are sent progress reports four times a year in our TYWLS Progress Snapshot
