The Board views the evaluation of student achievement and progress as the systematic process of collecting, analyzing, interpreting and judging of information relative to the degree to which course objectives have been realized. Student evaluation also serves as a means of collecting and analyzing data to be reported to students, parents and Alberta Education.
Student evaluation extends beyond the cognitive domain to the psychomotor and affective domains.
Evaluation of student progress and achievement will be conducted primarily by classroom teachers in terms of generally accepted standards and criteria. Student achievement and progress in prescribed or approved programs will be evaluated to assist in the establishment, maintenance and enhancement of standards. Course outlines for all subjects taught will be prepared by the teacher and provided to students of Grades 7-12. Data will be recorded in the teacher's mark book. Entries should include both an identification notation and a date.
