Assessment and Evaluation

Growing Success Document

Children show us what they have learned in a number of ways.  I will always give your child multiple opportunities to demonstrate their understanding and knowledge.  I won`t just be marking a test, but instead, listening to what they know, watching them, letting them work with others to communicate understanding, etc.

Assessment

• Valid information gathered regarding students 'progress.

Evaluation

• Assigned grade after the completion of learning.

When Ontario teachers assess and evaluate children we look at four different categories, or The Achievement Charts, to determine if students know the content and then, use or apply the content in an appropriate manner for their grade level. The Achievement Charts are part of the Ontario Curriculum, which is mandated by the Ministry of Education.
