Courses and Report Card Outcomes The SIRS report card displays the courses each student is taking in school. Within each course, report card outcomes are used to break down courses into subcomponents for separate evaluation. In outcomes-based reporting, the report card outcomes reflect a composite interpretation of the Front Matter, the General Learner Outcomes and the Specific Learner Outcomes of the Programs of Study. Courses and report card outcomes have been created in SIRS for all approved Programs of Study and Locally Developed Courses; if additional support is required, please contact Learning Services.
