Oak View Middle School

 Welcome to Ms. Whiteford's Website

 

Hello, My name is Mrs. Whiteford. I have been teaching Physical Education for 27 years. I have taught k-12 students. I have been with the Anoka-Hennepin District for 26 years. I have been here at Oak View since it opened. I earned my Physical Education Major, and Health and coaching minor at the University of Wisconsin River Falls. I went onto St Mary's University to earn my Masters in Education.

 

I have a husband and two daughters. One daughter is a Freshman at Mankato  and my other daughter is a junior  at Andover High School. I have coached basketball and soccer in the Andover community.

I enjoy running with my dog, working out at the YMCA, and going to our cabin near Duluth.

 

 

 

 

 

 Standard Based Grading Parent Directions

 

 

 

 

Gradebooks open all year:

Important gradebook difference:

Standards based grading is different from traditional grading in that students may continue to work on a standard or benchmark throughout the year. Often, teachers will introduce a benchmark in one trimester, and then continue to refine it throughout the year as skills progress until proficiency is reached.  You may notice that your child’s gradebook will remain “open” throughout the year so that proficiency can be tracked and a final score given once the student has met the benchmark.
