Mr. Adams’
Assessment and Evaluation Philosophy
Sound Assessment and Evaluation Practices:
- Support student learning.
- Allow students to practice and reflect on the skills of learning.
- Allow the student and Mr. Adams to monitor each student’s progress toward the acquisition of the key learnings of the course.
- Are eventually reflected in a mark.
Student Responsibilities and Expectations
The student will:
- Complete all course work.
- Provide evidence, as required, of the learning related to the content and the skills of the course.
- Plan and complete the “process” of course products name my cause so that all course related work is completed and submitted by the deadline.
- Make every effort to complete all quizzes, presentations, essays, tests, demonstrations, etc on the day and timed schedule.
- Should notify Mr. Adams ASAP, on the rare occasion, when it is impossible to complete schoolwork as scheduled. The Student will provide a note of explanation and cooperate fully with Mr. Adams to complete the task.
- Maintain the integrity of course work by employing academic honesty – one of the qualities of a person with good character.
A student can expect:
- Support, instruction and feedback to complete all schoolwork.
- A variety of assessments and evaluations throughout the course.
- The timely return of course-related products.
- Fair and equitable treatment on all issues related to Assessment and Evaluation.
Consequences
If a student:
- Fails to submit an assignment on time, Mr. Adams, using professional judgment, will engage the student in a process to ensure that the student has met course expectations. If the learning expectations are not demonstrated, the student will have earned a zero.
