Guiding Principles for the Design of Learning Experiences and Assessment Practices

The Guiding Principles for Designing Learning Experiences and Assessment Practices in Manitoba’s French Immersion Program provide guidance to educators as they design learning experiences and classroom assessments, both within and outside of the classroom. The application of these principles allows learners to deepen their learning, develop their language proficiency, and cultivate their plurilingual identity. Planning with the learner, the context, and the curricula in mind creates opportunities for the co-construction of inclusive learning experiences and assessment practices where the diverse learning needs, abilities, and interests of each learner are met.

Language is seen as a tool for communication and cognitive development, and as a vehicle for personal and social growth.

The learner develops a sense of belonging to the francophone community, both within the school and in the francophone community outside the classroom.

Learning and assessment situations are learner-centred.

Learning and assessment situations take place in a rich and engaging learning environment that offers a climate of trust and respect.

The learning environment and learning and assessment experiences value human diversity.

The learning environment and learning and assessment experiences incorporate Indigenous perspectives and engage the learner in a process of reconciliation.
