Evaluation and communication of student learning supports learner growth and well-being by authentically evaluating what learners understand, know, and can do
Reflective Questions for Teachers
How do we evaluate so that we
foster a culture where learners have multiple opportunities to demonstrate achievement in expected learning outcomes, including re-evaluation?
support all learners to understand how their mark or grade was determined?
identify the learner’s individual achievement while working in a collaborative setting?
keep accurate records that reflect achieved learning outcomes rather than methods of achievement such as tests, activities, or assignments?
ensure marks or grades reflect achieved learning outcomes or goals rather than behaviours?
capture the learner’s most recent and consistent achievement of expected learning outcomes for cumulative reporting (term, course, or progress report)?
provide each learner with appropriate educational programming?
mark
A symbol (such as a letter or a number) used to evaluate a specific learning task.
grade
A symbol (such as a letter or a number) used on a report card or at the end of a reporting period to communicate learning over time.
