We know that each learner is a unique individual, so we expect learners within the same age group to have different proficiency levels and needs within an expected range. Teachers measure individual growth using learning continuums rather than evaluating the group against a fixed measure.
Our learning continuums are standards-informed, provide depth and academic rigour, and align with our IB philosophy and our school mission.
You will see that each continuum is organized across phases, with overlapping age-ranges. Students can be learning and achieving across multiple phases at one time. Teachers use the continuums to track each child’s learning progress and growth and report their significant achievements and next steps in mathematics and language each semester.
To develop an understanding of what phase(s) your child is working in, please have a conversation with their homeroom teacher.
