MYP Assessment

What is West Island  School’s philosophy of assessment? Assessment is the measurement of what students know and can do (at a given time). How and when we assess students can directly inform approaches to planning, teaching, and learning. Effective assessment is ongoing and places students at the center of their learning by allowing teachers to monitor student progress and adjust instruction to improve achievement. Assessment is managed through an active partnership among students, teachers, and parents/guardians. Clarity of expectations and good communication are shared responsibilities.  * *Modified from Palmer High School’s philosophy of assessment statement.
