Assessments and evaluations will be based on Achievement Chart Categories (Knowledge, Inquiry, Communication & Application).

Evidence of student achievement is collected over time through observations, conversations and student products. Not every assessment will count toward a student’s final grade. The primary purpose of assessment and evaluation is to improve student learning.

Evaluations will be based on the most recent and consistent level of achievement in each strand and/or overall expectation. Determining a report card grade will involve teacher’s professional judgment and interpretation of evidence.

Assessing Student Learning Skills:

Students will be assessed on the six learning skills and work habit categories;

Responsibility

Organization

Independent Work

Collaboration

Initiative

Self-Regulation

Teachers will use the following letter symbols to report on students’ development of the six learning skills and work habits: E—Excellent

G—Good

S—Satisfactory

N—Needs Improvement

Evaluations have a balance between Knowledge & Understanding, Thinking & Investigation, Communication and Application.
