Goal: Team 1: By June 2016, 70% of marker students will
demonstrate a one-point incremental gain on the Ontario Student
Achievement chart, compared to previous reporting periods.
School Effectiveness Framework Indicators:1.1 Assessment is
connected to the curriculum, collaboratively developed by educators
and used to inform next steps in learning and instruction
1.2 A variety of relevant and meaningful assessment data is used
by students and educators to continuously monitor learning, to
inform instruction and to determine next steps
1.3 Students and educators build a common understanding of what
students are learning by identifying, sharing and clarifying the
learning goals and success criteria1.4 During learning, timely,
ongoing, descriptive feedback about student progress is provided
based on student actions and co-constructed success criteria.
1.5 Students are explicitly taught and use self-assessment
skills to monitor, improve and communicate their learning, within
the context of the Ontario Curriculum and/or IEP.
1.6 Assessment of learning provides relevant and meaningful
evidence to evaluate the quality of student achievement at or near
the end of a cycle of learning and to determine next steps.
1.7 Ongoing Communication about learning is in place to allow
students, educators and parents to monitor and support student
learning.
2.1 Collaborative instructional leadership to build capacity to
strengthen and enhance teaching and learning

Continued exploration of connecting effective assessment
practice to instructional design
From students:
Increased awareness and understanding of learning goals
Increased frequency of self-advocacy in response to stated

as well as growth mindset (C.Dweck) when collecting
student observations
