Reminder: Report cards will be coming home on Wednesday January 31st.

These reports shift from primarily focussing on summative assessment to primarily focussing on formative assessment.

These changes in communicating with students and parents are part of the redesigned BC Curriculum.  Based on current assessment research, ongoing personal feedback, embedded in daily instruction, and examples of student work are more critical to supporting student learning than simply reporting on student results.  Thus the shift in practice.  The communication is based on clear standards and expectations and is intended to make learning visible.  Students are encouraged to think of the questions:

• Where am I now?
• Where am I going?
• What do I need to do to get there?
