Evaluation is based upon the following:  in class assignments, take home assignments, quizzes, tests, projects, presentations, etc.  Teacher, self and peer assessments will be also conducted.  Evaluation is ongoing, and will include both process and product.  The following marking scheme will be used:

​LEVEL	​GRADE	​PERCENTAGE
1-​	​D-	​50 - 53
​1	​D	​54 - 56
​1+	​D+	​57 - 59

Levels of Achievement 

The achievement chart also identifies four levels of achievement, defined as follows: 

Level 1 represents achievement that falls much below the provincial standard. The student demonstrates the specified knowledge and skills with limited effectiveness. Students must work at significantly improving learning in specific areas, as necessary, if they are to be successful in the next grade/course 

Level 2 represents achievement that approaches the provincial standard. The student demonstrates the specified knowledge and skills with some effectiveness. Students performing at this level need to work on identified learning gaps to ensure future success. 

Level 3 represents the provincial standard for achievement. The student demonstrates the specified knowledge and skills with considerable effectiveness. Parents of students achieving at level 3 can be confident that their children will be prepared for work in subsequent grades/courses. 

Level 4 identifies achievement that surpasses the provincial standard. The student demonstrates the specified knowledge and skills with a high degree of effectiveness. However, achievement at level 4 does not mean that the student has achieved expectations beyond those specified for the grade/course. 

Specific “qualifiers” are used with the descriptors in the achievement chart to describe student performance at each of the four levels of achievement – the qualifier limited is used for level 1; some for level 2; considerable for level 3; and a high degree of or thorough for level 4.
