VIRTUE: Trustworthiness
Each week Holy Trinity explores a virtue. For Catholics virtues “guide our conduct according to the dictates of faith and reason, leading us toward freedom based on self-control and toward joy in living a good moral life.” (Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minnesota). This week’s virtue is trustworthiness which calls us to be reliable, dependable, and honest. We see it in our students and children when they do the right thing even when no one is watching. Thank you for supporting our students as they practice trustworthiness at school, at home, and in the other activities of their week. Here is a link if you would like to read a bit more about this virtue. End of Trimester - GradesThis Friday is the last day of the winter trimester. The half day on Friday is to provide teachers time for grading and to prepare for report cards that will be available next week. Last year elementary grades moved to Standards Referenced Grading (SRG) and this year middle school made the shift.
Standards Referenced Grading (SRG) is the end product of Standards Based Teaching and Learning. In standards-based teaching, educators plan instruction, classroom experiences, academic work, and activities geared toward mastery of each target. This is the heart of the classroom experience—teachers and students engaged collaboratively in academic exploration and learning. Regular Assessments provide information about a learner's progress, which is helpful to students, teachers, and families. A key understanding of SRG is that learning is demonstrated through the quality of work rather than quantity. Multiple and varied assessments offer students ways to demonstrate their learning.
