Welcome to Sun West's Supporting Assessment Wikispace
The purpose of this wikispace is to support administrators and teachers in Saskatchewan as they extend their professional learning about assessment.
This wikispace has been developed by the Sun West Assessment Committee, and the CAIT (Curriculum, Assessment, Instruction, Technology) Team
"Student assessment is a deliberate process used to provide feedback and evidence for making judgments about students' learning in relation to identified learning outcomes. Teachers guide the evaluation and reporting of student progress to parents/guardians" - Sun West Administrative Procedures 370: Student Assessment

1.3 Student grades are to reflect the level of achievement of the learning outcomes.
1.4 Learning Behaviours will be reported separately.
1.5 Diagnostic and formative assessments will be used to provide direction for improvement or adjustment to a program of instruction (This is assessment for learning).
1.6 Summative assessment will be used to make judgments about a student's achievement at the end of a sequence of instruction in order to assign a grade (assessment of learning).
1.7 Students will be involved in the assessment and grading process, through the use of rubrics, exemplars, inquiry learning, and other means.

Sun West Grade 7 Reading Assessment Moodle Course
We have put together a Supplemental Learning Assessment Quick Reference Guide to help teachers address questions regarding the assessment process moving forward.
We have included many of the RPT guidelines as well as some of our own details to help clarify questions that may arise.
We have also included a research based article from the Canadian Assessment for Learning Network (CAfLN) that really explains assessment practices in a clear and concise way. The CAfLN document aligns very nicely with our Pre-K to 9 guidelines. We have had clearer responses to the 10-12 assessment questions from the RPT however, they do align fairly well with the philosophy behind the CAfLN document (different wording, etc.).
Supporting Student Assessment in Saskatchewan:provides research-based effective practices for classroom assessment;outlines philosophical ideas and guiding principles for assessment in Saskatchewan classrooms; and,reflects the spirit of continuous improvement.Supporting Student Assessment in Saskatchewan is a resource intended to support teachers and school division leaders, replacing the document Student Evaluation: A Teacher Handbook (1991).

This site talks about the reasons you need to running records in math. It includes a way of measuring the students' accuracy, fluency, and flexibility in their understanding of key math concepts. At the bottom of the article, you can sign up for free samples of running records for addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
This article examines how teachers can actively use assessment data to improve their teaching practice, and ultimately improve student learning.
"Abstract
Fundamental to teachers becoming responsive to student learning needs is the availability of detailed information about what students know and can do. High-quality assessment data can provide that information, but much more is needed to improve teaching practice in ways that have a substantive impact on student learning. A set of conditions are identified that result in such an impact, based on a synthesis of the international literature on professional development that has
demonstrated a positive impact on student outcomes and a professional development program in over 300 New Zealand primary schools. This professional development program is focused on the interpretation and use of assessment information, building relevant pedagogical content knowledge in literacy and developing leadership for the change management process. These developments occurred within systematic inquiry and knowledge-building cycles based on assessment data for both teachers and leaders. Student achievement gains in reading and writing have accelerated at a rate averaging more than twice that
expected, with even greater gains for the lowest-performing students. Both the projects have led to the identification of a set of conditions in improved teaching practice."
Understand why it’s important to keep investing, even during market downturns and periods of inflation. In this video, we discuss things to consider when markets fall, things to consider before you sell your investments, the benefits of sticking to your financial plan. Maintaining investment and earnings growth is the best way to keep up with inflation. Your money earned (which grows from investing and wage increases) should be greater than or equal to the money spent (which increases through inflation).
