Continuous Assessment Policy

 

Commitment to Continuous Assessment

The administration of Corinaldi Avenue Primary School is committed to a policy of continuous assessment. We recognize (the importance) that both informative and summative assessment of students are needed to monitor and improve students' learning. All teachers will prepare assessment plans for each unit of work. Assessment must be curriculum-based and must be aligned with the appropriate attainment targets and objectives in the Revised Primary Curriculum.

Assessment Committee's Review of Teachers Plans

The assessment committee recognizes the variety of learning outcomes specified in the Revised Primary Curriculum and the differences among students in terms of their strengths, weaknesses and learning style preferences. Thus the assessment committee comprised of the Principal, Vice-Principals, Grade

Coordinators and School Based Coordinator will review teachers' plans.

Review of Formative Assessment Plans

The assessment committee will review each teacher's plans to ensure that the planned assessments are:

  1. Aligned with the attainment targets
  2. Used to monitor students' learning
  3. Used to give timely feedback to students
  4. Used to identify students learning difficulties, and that the results are used as the basis for revising lesson plans and re-teaching material that students have not mastered.

Review of Summative Assessment Plans

The assessment committee will review each teacher's plan for summative assessments. These plans are to be developed at the beginning of each term and should indicate clearly how the mastery of each unit, as well as overall term grade, will be determined. It is expected that each teacher will evaluate each student in the class at the completion of each unit, and will record grades in their mark books.
