Assessment Plan Rationale

Proficiency scale-based assessment

Focus on students better understanding themselves as learners
Less focus on “marks” and more focus on progress and growth
Ongoing conversation between teacher and student on where the learning is going (formative assessments)
The activity, Point and Perform, is the final assessment (summative assessment) based on the criteria the students were given with a rubric at the beginning of the unit.
