Tracking & Assessment

"In order for meaningful integration of Global Competencies within and across subject areas, it will be important for educators to understand that the instruction and assessment of Global Competencies are aligned with existing expectations, not an additional requirement.

Students will become learning partners through regular reflection and the creation of personal e-portfolios of understanding and learning.

The Global Competencies will be used as a lens through which planning for instruction and assessment occur. More emphasis will be placed on a learning process that is reflective, student centered and feedback-driven.

Concepts incorporated in the Global Competencies are embedded within the Ontario Curriculum expectations and Achievement Charts for assessment. They can also be found within the descriptors of the Learning Skills and Work Habits, defined within Growing Success, Assessment, Evaluation and Reporting in Ontario Schools (2010)."

Assessment for Learning

"As part of assessment for learning, teachers provide students with descriptive feedback and coaching for improvement." (Growing Success, p28)

Assessment as Learning

"Teachers engage in assessment as learning by helping all students develop their capacity to be independent, autonomous learners who are able to set individual goals, monitor their own progress, determine next steps, and reflect on their thinking and learning." (Growing Success p.28)

Assessment of Learning

"Assessment of learning is used to record and report what has been learned in the past." (Growing Success p.30)
