Grading and Reporting The EC Way

East Central ISD has dedicated years to developing "Grading and Reporting the EC Way," a comprehensive grading system that reflects extensive research, collaboration, and refinement. This initiative is a testament to the hard work of ECISD faculty, who have designed a grading system that incorporates input from teachers, students, parents, principals, and top education experts. 

Grading and Reporting the EC Way is an important undertaking that we believe will be beneficial for teachers, parents, and, most importantly, our students. 

Key Features of Grading and Reporting the EC Way

Continuous Learning and Growth

  • Designed to support continuous learning and growth for every student.
  • Aligns with district curriculum standards.
  • Accurately represents student progress towards mastering these standards.

User-Friendly System

  • Clearly conveys what is being taught and how well it is being learned.
  • Improves the quality of communication between teachers, students, and parents.
  • Enhances teaching and learning.

Behavioral Grading and Reporting

  • Includes a component for grading and reporting behavior.
  • Behavioral skills are explicitly taught, graded, and reported separately from academic progress.
  • Categorized under the standards of safe, respectful, and responsible behavior.

Character Development

  • Encourages the development of strength of character reflecting East Central community values.
  • Aims to produce academically capable students with sound judgment, reliability, and a strong work ethic.

Gradual Implementation for Secondary Campuses

  • Secondary campuses are applying the same grading and reporting guidelines.
  • Standards-based system is being gradually implemented with full implementation expected in the 2019-2020 school year.

Our goal is to challenge, encourage, and motivate every student to master academic skills and content while developing the character necessary for future success.
