This document discusses how student assessment works and how it impacts student reports. It explains that assessment is used to plan learning, identify student outcomes, inform teaching, and report achievement. There are two types of assessment: assessment for learning, which includes teacher observations and student feedback; and assessment of learning, like projects, tests, and presentations. Assessment is criteria-based and linked to syllabus outcomes. Student reports use an A-E grading scale to indicate their level of knowledge, understanding, and skills.
