Assessment and Evaluation
Teachers measure student achievement using level one to four on these achievement categories:
Knowledge/Understanding 14%
Thinking/Inquiry 7%
Communication 7%
Application 42%
Culminating Assignment 30%
70% of the grade is based on evaluations taken throughout the course. They may be in the form of oral/written tests,
performance tests, essays, learning logs, conferences, or projects/presentations.
30% of the grade is based on a final evaluation administered at the end of each unit. The evaluation may take the form of
an exam, a performance task, a presentation, an essay, a portfolio, or any other method of evaluation suitable to the course
content and expectations. There are no exceptions as it is considered essential.
In every unit there will be at least one essential summative evaluation that must be submitted as well as minor
assignments. If an assignment is not completed by the due date, students will have to complete the task on demand during
class time or during lunch. An evaluation will be based on the work completed at this time.
Academic integrity is the submission of original work. Plagiarism, cheating, and other misrepresentations will not be
tolerated. Please see the student handbook for our policy regarding this topic.
