lol. We have progress reports that measure skills. So like, "Works Independantly", "Teamwork", "Organization", "Initiative", and "Work Habits/Homework".

They get either an E (excellent), G (good), S (satisfactory), or an N (needs improvement). We don't have percentages (letter grades) until mid-term. Progress reports are just to justify interviews with parents I may request.

But I hate conducting interviews. Last year two fathers left me their numbers. Not cool, man.

That part hasn't changed at all. However, when showing grades to kids, we now use a Level system. Four Levels, each highlighting how you ranked. And everything is split into categories. For my art classes, we mark kids based on Knowledge, Thinking, Communication, and Application. In the end we convert the levels to percentages for their report cards.

Alrighty, I'm off to organize some lesson plans for tomorrow. Whoop-dee-do!
