District moves from 'partial/strong command' labels to a 4–3–2–1 numeric scale
Summary
Presenters said community feedback showed the old 'PC/SC' labels could be misleading; the committee adopted a 4–3–2–1 system to clarify levels of independence and support, and to improve data analytics.
Presenter (S2) said the district heard that the prior PC/SC (partial/strong command) labels were not clear to families and sometimes did not communicate how parents should support students. "It'll be a 4, 3, 2, and 1 now," the presenter said, describing the new numeric scale and how it maps to levels of independence and support.
According to presenters, the numeric scale is intended to let teachers and administrators disaggregate results by standard and by student (for example, to compute average scores like 3.12), which will support targeted interventions and clearer conversations with families. Presenters emphasized the change aims both to improve communication with parents and to strengthen the district’s analytic capacity.
