Assessments

Assessments are to provide and support systems that empower students to show what they know and can do, thereby supporting their decision-making regarding their learning and providing evidence to teachers that inform instruction.

 

Our assessment practices are linked to students’ understanding of where they are, what they can do, and what they need to work on to continue their learning. We ensure that our teachers can link assessment evidence to teaching and learning daily.
