Rubrics vs Marking scheme
• The main difference is that when the teacher is grading,
Marking guide lets you enter a number as the grade for a
criterion - Rubric has preset levels for each criterion that the
teacher can select from when marking that criterion. – Dan Marsden
• Marking Scheme Example:
Solve for x where x2+2x+1=0.
If x2+2x+1=0
Then (x+1) (x+1)= 0 1 mark
i.e. x=-1 1 mark

Assessment and Reporting in Middle School

dwellbourne-wood

Middle school assessments aim to support student learning and accurately describe achievement. Teachers use a variety of assessment methods, like tests, projects and performances, and provide continuous feedback on skills, knowledge and self-management. Report cards communicate achievement levels quarterly along with narrative feedback from all teachers in quarter 2. Personal contact from teachers is made if students are not meeting expectations, and parent/teacher conferences are held in October and student-led conferences in the spring.

ISRD Standards Based IEPs

vthorvthor

The document discusses standards-based IEPs, which align IEP goals with grade-level academic standards, unlike traditional IEPs which focused on access to services. An IEP must now include present levels, the impact of disability, and grade-aligned goals. Specially designed instruction ensures access to the general curriculum so students can meet grade-level standards. The IEP must enable progress in both IEP goals and grade-level content. Where performance is below grade level, the IEP should estimate growth toward standards. The document provides an example and seven steps for developing standards-based IEPs.

Assessment of Information Literacy Learning

Johan Koren

Assessment takes many forms in schools and aims to provide information on student achievement and progress to improve teaching and learning. Effective assessment supports learning goals, involves students in planning and feedback, and uses authentic tasks that mirror real-world applications of skills. School librarians can collaborate with teachers on developing learning standards, resources, and various forms of assessments, including observations, products, and conversations, to authentically evaluate student information literacy.

Specifically, it focuses on the team's collaboration in developing and delivering the 'Succeeding at University and Beyond' module which helps students develop transferable skills needed for degree-level study and employment through activities like critical reading, research skills, and career planning. Feedback from the first year of the programme will be used to consolidate it into a single credit-bearing

St Clair River Pipeline Public Comment Writing Sample

Timothy Minotas

The letter summarizes concerns over two nearly 100-year-old oil pipelines in the St. Clair River in Michigan. It notes the poor safety record of the pipeline operator, Plains All American Pipeline, including three oil spills in 2015. It also discusses the environmental and economic risks of an oil spill in the river, which flows into Lake St. Clair and Lake Huron. The letter argues that permitting transfer of the pipelines' operating permit without environmental review is a mistake given the age of the lines and potential impacts on the region's fisheries and drinking water. It urges reconsideration of approval due to uncertainties around the operator's plans and risks of using such old pipelines.
