  3. Principles of assessment • truthful • based on the description of good performance (8) • the description of good performance and the final evalutation’s criteria specify the knowledge and skill levels that constitute the basis of pupil assessment • pupil’s progress, work skills, and behaviour are assessed in relation to the curriculum’s goals and descriptions of good performance ELSM 2011-2012

  4. numerical or verbal • parents or other guardian has to be informed • teachers have to give regular feedback about pupils’ work – different methods should be used • the grounds of assessment have to be informed - (often at parents evenings, on school net pages) • based on a diversity of evidence ELSM 2011-2012

  5. Ways of evaluation/assessment • subjects and behaviour are evaluated • numerically • by verbal summaries • or a combination of the two • when using verbal assessment, the school year report is to state whether the pupil has met the objectvies acceptably • grades in core subjects latest by the eight school year ELSM 2011-2012

  6.

  8. Next grade • the pupil is promoted to the next grade if she or she acceptably completes all studies in the different subjects • also if they are judged to be able to cope with the next year’s studies acceptably • a pupil may be retained – failing performance • possibility to demonstrate his/her skills • a pupil may be retained for other reasons – parents/guardian has to be heard ELSM 2011-2012
