Assessment for Learning

Assessment for, as and of Learning 1.1 Students and teachers share a common understanding of the learning goals and related success criteria. 1.2 During learning, students receive ongoing, descriptive feedback based on the success criteria, from the teacher and from peers. 1.3 Students are taught, and regularly use self-assessment skills to monitor their progress toward achieving learning goals, and to set their own learning goals within the context of the Ontario curriculum and/or Individual Education Plan (I.E.P). 1.4 Assessment tasks are aligned with the curriculum, collaboratively developed by teachers and the resulting demonstrations of student learning analyzed to ensure consistency with success criteria. 1.5 A variety of valid and reliable assessment data is used by students and teachers to continuously monitor learning, to inform instruction and assessment and to determine next steps. 1.6 Assessment of learning provides evidence for evaluating the quality of student learning at or near the end of a period of learning. 1.7 Ongoing communication is in place to allow students, teachers and parents to effectively monitor student learning.
