Basic Considerations:Guiding Principles
Teachers must use assessment and evaluation strategies that:
Are varied in nature, administered over a period of time, and designed to provide opportunities for students to demonstrate the full range of their learning

Basic Considerations:Guiding Principles
Teachers must use assessment and evaluation strategies that:
Accommodate students with special education needs, consistent with the strategies in their IEP;
Accommodate the needs of students who are learning the language of instruction;

Basic Considerations:Guiding Principles
Teachers must use assessment and evaluation strategies that:
Ensure that each student is given clear directions for improvement;
Promote students’ ability to assess their own learning and to set specific goals;

Basic Considerations:Levels of Achievement
Level 3 – Provincial standard
Level 1 – Much below standard but still a passing grade
Level 2 – Approaches the standard
Level 4 – Surpasses standard, but not beyond the grade
