Accommodations: Extra time and help is given to students who require it. In most cases, strong
students work with weaker students to keep progress balanced. Those strong students who help,
receive additional marks for their assistance. Occasionally, an activity or part of an activity may be
modified to aid the progress of a weak student. Where individual assistance is needed, ie. test or
quiz reading, a student will be sent to PSS.
Formative Assessment in the Unit: Continual monitoring of student progress is done through each
unit, supplying feedback on improvement and offering a chance to correct errors and improve mark
by resubmitting assignments. For each unit, a unit test is written at the end of the unit.
Unit Evaluation:
Activities are worth 40% (combined)
Culminating activity is worth 30%
Unit tests are worth 20% (combined)
Quizes are worth 10% (combined)
The overall weighting of the 4 learning categories used in all evaluations:
