Elementary work‑habits dip slightly; board asks for rubric calibration
Summary
Staff reported small declines in five of eight elementary work‑habit measures (listening, participation, problem solving, etc.). Board members asked staff to break the data down by school and grade and to calibrate teacher rubrics to ensure consistency.
District presenters reviewed indicator three of R3.2, showing measures drawn from elementary report cards for work and lifelong learning habits (listening, emotional management, empathy, problem solving and related items). The presenters said five of eight measures declined slightly from the prior year while three remained steady, and they recommended breaking the results down by grade level and ensuring rubric calibration across teachers to reduce measurement variation.
Board members pressed for school‑level data and raised the possibility that COVID-era developmental shifts and technology use could be influencing early elementary behaviors. Presenters acknowledged the data’s subjectivity and said they will pursue calibration work and, where useful, present school‑level breakdowns to look for concentrated gaps.
