Evaluation
Students will actively participate in The Real Game and complete any and all assignments. Students will receive a mark of 1, 2, 3, or 4 for each of the curriculum objectives based on tasks they will complete throughout the year. Depending on the tasks completed the mark for an outcome may be based on the most consistently achieved level or most recent level achieved.
The meaning of these numbers is explained below:
4 – Mastery, an insightful understanding of the grade level outcomes. Students can apply and transfer their knowledge.
3 – Proficient, a well-developed understanding of the grade level outcomes. Students are competent with the skills and knowledge and are on par with curriculum expectations.
2 – Approaching, a basic understanding or an inconsistent understanding of the subject outcomes at this grade level.
1 – Beginning, a partial understanding. Students at this level have limited success with the stated outcome even with support.
