Students will be assessed and evaluated using a variety of methods to measure process, final products, skills displayed, critical literacy, and metacognition. Tests, quizzes, assignments, presentations, cooperative learning activities, self-reflection and other methods of evaluation will be used at the teacher's discretion.
THE ACHIEVEMENT CHART FOR ENGLISH
The achievement chart available through this link identifies four categories of knowledge and skills in English. The achievement chart is a standard province-wide guide to be used by teachers. It enables teachers to make judgements about student work that are based on clear performance standards and on a body of evidence collected over time.
The purpose of the achievement chart is to:
• provide a common framework that encompasses all curriculum expectations for all courses;
• guide the development of quality assessment tasks and tools (including rubrics);
• help teachers to plan instruction for learning;
• assist teachers in providing meaningful feedback to students;
• provide various categories and criteria with which to assess and evaluate students' learning.
Teachers will ensure that student work is assessed and/or evaluated in a balanced manner with respect to the four categories, and that achievement of particular expectations is considered within the appropriate categories.
