Student Assessment and Evaluation:
Each outcome is assessed three times, therefore students have multiple opportunities to succeed at each outcome. Formative assessments are given when learning a new outcome. This allows teachers to pinpoint any misunderstandings and provide students with feedback, so they can improve their understanding and be more successful on the next assessment with the same outcome.
Every outcome will be assessed on a 4 - 1 scale. 1 or 2 are NOT meeting expectations, whereas 3 or 4 are meeting the expectations.
Guiding Principles of Fair Assessment: The fundamental assessment principles endorsed by the Department of Education and Culture are as follows:
· Assessment methods should be appropriate for and compatible with the purpose and context of the assessment.
· Students should be provided with sufficient opportunity to demonstrate the knowledge, skills, attitudes and behaviours being assessed.
· Procedures for judging or scoring student performance should be appropriate for the assessment method used and be consistently applied and monitored.
· Procedures for summarizing and interpreting assessment results should yield accurate and informative representations of a student’s performance in relation to the curriculum outcomes for the reporting period.
· Assessment reports should be clear, accurate and of practical value to the audience for whom they are intended.
· Assessment practices should be such that the best interests of the student are paramount
· Assessment should inform teaching and promote learning.
· Assessment is an integral and ongoing part of the assessment process and clearly related to the learning outcomes.
· Assessment must be fair and equitable for all students and involve multiple sources of information.
