Multiage Report Card

For its multiage classes, Williams Elementary School in Williams, Arizona, uses a special report card that indicates a continuum of student development. The report card is filled out four times per year and requires the use of a different colored marking pen for each quarter. As a result, each developmental category looks like a bar graph indicating continuous progress. There also is room for teacher comments.
