Scales of competency levels - Elementary School

The scales of competency levels constitute the official reference points that form the basis of the student competency reports that teachers must prepare starting in the 2008-2009 school year. Part I of each document is intended to provide additional information on the nature of these instruments and how they are meant to be used. The scales for each subject are then presented in Part I

Les échelles des niveaux de compétence constituent les références officielles sur lesquelles le bilan des apprentissages des élèves doit s'appuyer, et ce, à compter de l'année scolaire 2008-2009. La première partie de chaque document a pour but de fournir des précisions sur la nature de cette instrumentation et sur son utilisation. Les échelles de chacune des disciplines sont ensuite présentées dans la seconde partie.

Checklists

Evaluation Checklists
As a start to providing models of tools that teachers might use in the evaluation process, we have taken the evaluation criteria from the Quebec Education Program and created some checklists that teachers could use throughout the term to create a picture of where the student is in terms of his/her acquisition of the competencies in English Language Arts, French and Maths.

English Language Arts and Math Essential Knowledges
On this page you will find the Essential Knowledges for English Language Arts and Mathematics. The Essential Knowledges listed under each competency are the processes, strategies, skills and understandings that are fundamental to the development of the subject competencies. The Quebec Education Program lists these knowledges for the 3 cycles altogether while we have listed them separately by cycle. Teachers may find the separate listings handy.
Social Science Competencies and Essential Knowledges
On this page you will find a synopsis of the social science competencies. In addition, the essential knowledges are listed by cycle.

Authentic Assessment

Authentic Assessment Overview
Authentic assessment aims to evaluate students' abilities in 'real-world' contexts. In other words, students learn how to apply their skills to authentic tasks and projects.
The Case for Authentic Assessment
Grant Wiggins, a researcher and consultant on school reform issues, is a widely-known advocate of authentic assessment in education.
Rubrics for Web Lessons
Authentic assessment is geared toward assessment methods which correspond as closely as possible to real world experience. The rubric is one authentic assessment tool which is designed to simulate real life activity where students are engaged in solving real-life problems.


Learning Continuums and Standards

Reading and Writing Continuums
The second book in Bonnie Hill’s Corner Pieces of Assessment Series, this guide builds on the first book, Classroom Based Assessment by linking assessment to developmental benchmarks in the continuums. These continuums are based on current thinking about literacy acquisition, while reflecting a child-centered, constructivist, developmental philosophy of teaching and learning . . . yet they are practical and easy to use!
