  5. Assessments • All assessments and evaluations are created with the assistance of the province-wide guide called “The Achievement Chart”, found in each curriculum document. This chart helps teachers to identify students’ strengths, areas of improvement, and plan future lessons/activities. • The four categories in the achievement chart are: • Knowledge and Understanding: Subject-specific content acquired in each grade (knowledge), and the comprehension of its meaning and significance (understanding). • Thinking: The use of critical and creative thinking skills and/or processes. • Communication: The conveying of meaning through various forms. • Application: The use of knowledge and skills to make connections within and between various contexts.

  6. Assessments • The Ontario provincial standard for achieving the curriculum expectations is a “Level 3”. The “levels” can also be looked at in terms of letter grades: Ontario provincial standard

  7. EQAO • EQAO (the standardized provincial testing) will take place at the end of May. • Students will have the opportunity to practise and see sample questions in-class prior to the assessment. • The results from EQAO are NOT counted towards the report card.
