Assessment Guidelines There are various purposes for assessment: Assessment for learning (formative assessment): where assessment helps teachers gain insight into what students understand in order to plan and guide instruction, and provide helpful feedback to students. Assessment of learning (summative assessment): where assessment informs students, teachers and parents, as well as the broader educational community, of achievement at a certain point in time in order to celebrate success, plan interventions and support continued progress. Academic Achievement Grades will be calculated on summative assessment information only. The final calculation will be a fair reflection of a student s achievement of the learning outcomes.
