iLEAD’s Reports of Progress: What They Are and Why They Matter

learners workbooks

At iLEAD Agua Dulce, we issue a Report of Progress (ROP) for each child. An ROP might be compared to a traditional report card. However, instead of recording letter grades, we record a learner’s growth based on how consistently the learner applies academic and social-emotional skills at each determined point in the year.

An ROP has three major components: the progress and/or grade component, the narrative component, and the social-emotional component.

The first component of the ROP is the progress and/or grade report. This is an overall snapshot of the learner’s progress with concepts, skills, and standards. Each learner will receive a progress descriptor as shown in the legend below:

The second component of the ROP is the narrative report. The facilitator writes a narrative for each child. Caregivers highly value the narratives, as they gain a true understanding of their child’s progress and educational experience. We supply the narrative progress report because we recognize that each child is unique and that a checklist approach cannot fully demonstrate or assist a child’s development. The narrative report gives a more detailed description of the child’s work and choices of work and demonstrates to families and learners that the facilitator understands and cares about each child.

The third and final component of the ROP is the social-emotional report. The iLEAD curriculum emphasizes development of independence, initiative, responsibility, confidence, social awareness, cooperation, concentration, helpfulness, and commitment to work. Our ROP combines the current learner outcomes (based on the 7 Habits) and the Character Lab Program, which focuses on each learner’s strengths, skills, and mind-sets.

If you have any questions regarding the ROP at iLEAD Agua Dulce, we encourage you to reach out to your child’s facilitator.
