Academic Assessments
The primary purpose of assessment and evaluation is to improve student learning. Information gathered through assessment helps teachers to determine students’ strengths and weaknesses in their achievement of the curriculum expectations in each course. This information also serves to guide teachers in adapting curriculum and instructional approaches to students’ needs and in assessing the overall effectiveness of programs and classroom practices.
At PEAC, students receive clear and detailed feedback on their progress throughout the school year. Students have opportunities to demonstrate their learning through a variety of assessment and evaluation tasks, including written assignments, oral presentations, tests and examinations. At PEAC, assessment and evaluation are based on the Ontario curriculum expectations and the achievement levels outlined by the Ministry curriculum documents.
PEAC‘s online school-web allows both parents and students to receive students’ performance feedback and reference that feedback conveniently and easily. Students know exactly where they stand academically, and parents and teachers take appropriate action quickly to ensure that our students are maintaining their academic expectations.
