Grading & Reporting Academic Performance

Greeley-Evans Alternative Program (GAP) is in the process of implementing standards based grading and reporting in a competency based learning system. Competency-based learning fosters equity by holding all students to a common set of rigorous expectations, while providing flexibility in time, pace, or place for students to progress through content as they demonstrate mastery. 

Standards-Based Instruction (SBI)

All teachers at GAP are expected to provide instruction that is aligned to state standards and district competencies. 

Standards-Based Grading (SBG)

All teachers at GAP are expected to grade student performance on state standards and district competencies. 

Standards-Based Reporting (SBR)

All teachers at GAP are expected to regularly report out on student progress towards state standards and district competencies. Teacher gradebooks will reflect the standard/competency not the tool used for students to demonstrate the competency. Teacher gradebooks, accessible to students and parents on the parent portal (Infinite Campus) will be updated at minimum, weekly. 

Parents and guardians of students have access to Parent Portal. Parent Portal can be a useful online resource that provides parents/guardians in the opportunity to monitor their student's progress in school. All parents and guardians of high school students are encouraged to use this resource to help their student succeed academically. However, it is highly encouraged that any academic questions or concerns are addressed via phone call or in person, and directly with the teacher or an administrator.
