Assessment
Although we feel that
self-reflection is the most productive form of assessment, GECS
students are assessed in a variety of other ways.
Teacher Observation/ Student Work:
On a day to day basis, the parents monitor student progress through
assignments. On a weekly, biweekly or monthly basis, depending on
student’s age and program, the credentialed teacher interviews students
and parents about progress on assignments. Teachers often give tests or
quizzes on material at this time. The credentialed teacher checks
student work, and creates a monthly report that documents student
progress through state standards and other elective content.
Monthly Learning Record:
GECS creates a monthly report to document students’ progress through
the California State Standards and other personally selected
benchmarks. Click here for

Standards Based Benchmarks/Report Cards:
In addition to daily/weekly/monthly reviews of student work, GECS
students in grades K-12 are assessed using benchmarks for each of their
core courses. The student’s credentialed teacher uses these benchmarks,
as well as review of student’s daily work assignments, to assess
student progress and assign credits on student semester report cards.
In Grades 9-12, students receive electronically generated report cards and official transcripts as generated by their credentialed teacher.
In grades K-6, the grade level benchmarks are used to assess student achievement of grade level standards, and double as a semester report card.
Grades 7-8 use grade level benchmarks for semester assessment in addition to a graded report card in subjects taken.
