Along with our new BC curriculum, assessment practices are also evolving. We invited parents last spring to learn more about these changes:
-
-
a shift of focus from summative assessment to formative assessment
-
a greater focus on the learning process and how to support student improvement
-
use of tools such as portfolios and blogs to communicate student learning in a more responsive and timely way – and in a way that empowers students to take ownership of their learning and engages parents in the learning process
-
Ministry of Education proficiency scales will replace letter grades
-
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to email or phone us, or stop by the school any time.For more information, please read this speech & powerpoint presented by Mr. Heard at the Parents as Partners event last spring – see links below
