Chinook’s Edge School Division establishes and implements student assessment and evaluation in accordance with the expectations of Alberta Education and with the needs of students attending schools in the Division. The Division believes that both high quality instruction and sound educational decision making depend upon high quality ongoing, actionable feedback, and assessment that is both formative and summative. The Division, therefore, expects all assessments to provide accurate information about student achievement in relation to the learning outcomes in the Alberta Education Programs of Study.
Student learning and growth is promoted through assessment, evaluation, and communication of student achievement as well as positive, thoughtful and meaningful experiences. Student learning in education programs shall be assessed to assist in:
Supporting students to move forward in their learning progression,
Guiding teaching practices congruent with research-based principles,
And establishing and maintaining standards.
