​The Case FOR Feedback: Meaningful Assessment and Reporting in NVSD IB PYP Schools

This school year Queen Mary and Capilano are moving to a new assessment model and grade-less report cards. This information session is a follow up session to the spring 2015 parent  presentation: "The Case Against Letter Grades: Transforming Assessment Practice in the IB PYP"

At this meeting parents/guardians will learn about:

• The rationale for moving from use of letter grades and scores to providing meaningful feedback
• How an emphasis on common language and grade-less assessment aligns with "best practice", the IB philosophy and connects to assessment in the MYP
• The assessment language and feedback strategies being used
• How student learning will be communicated on the report cards
• Time for parent/guardian questions and small group discussion will be provided.
• Queen Mary Elementary Gym, Wednesday November 4th, 2015, 7:00-8:00 pm​
• Babysitting provided.
