Culminating Assignment / Exam
COURSE ASSESSMENT & EVALUATION: The process of assessing student learning is continuous and on-going. Teachers use information gathered through assessments to provide feedback for students, to guide instruction and develop individual learning goals for students. This is assessment for learning. Students use this feedback to continuously improve their achievement and set individual learning goals. This is assessment as learning. Information from assessments informs the teacher’s professional judgment, but is not used in determining the student’s level of achievement. Students will be given numerous and varied opportunities to demonstrate their achievement of the Overall Expectations across the four categories of achievement (Knowledge & Understanding, Thinking, Communication and Application). Evidence of student achievement of the Overall Expectations is collected over time from three different sources – observations, conversations and student products. Grading will be calculated according to the Achievement Chart categories. The final grade is determined by the following breakdown: 70 % - evaluations made at the end of units throughout the semester. 30% - final demonstrations of learning (culminating activities and/or final examinations)
