How are students assessed and evaluated?
 The online teacher is ultimately responsible for the assessment of student progress in relation to BC learning outcomes. Parents and students help online teachers determine which samples of student work best illustrate student achievement and growth. Portfolios containing a variety of samples and assessments allow students to demonstrate their growth over time. A variety of assessment tools (checklists, project criteria, tests, etc.) and strategies (self assessments, observations, etc.) help to ensure
that individual learning styles and learning rates are considered in describing student learning. We encourage families to involve students in assessing their own growth and progress and in selecting samples of their work to be included in their portfolios.
Families are required to provide sufficient samples of student work for online teachers to make a reasonable, professional judgments about the progress of the student throughout the year. Samples can be shared in a variety of ways and forms (eg. print, video, audio tape, online). The Ministry of Education requires that three formal written reports and two informal reports be provided to parents each year.
