REMOTE LEARNING: HIGH SCHOOL OVERVIEW

Secondary Level Assessments and grading are important components to teaching and learning, as they provide evidence of understanding to students, families and teachers. Recognizing that there are challenges in the area of assess- ments in the remote learning environment, teachers will use a variety of strategies to assess and grade students in each course. Feedback on assessments communicate students’ mastery of learning objectives to students, teachers, and families and grades during the remote learning time should include a balance of:

formative assessment summative assessment participation in remote learning activities completion of assignments homework classwork larger long-term assignments that are paced and scaffolded

Students are expected to complete assigned work, including non-graded assessments that provide a check for understanding. This may include questions, forms, reflections, and daily progress checks which help to measure student progress against learning targets. Teachers will provide students with clear instructions and advanced notice of graded assessments which may include electronic quizzes/tests, writing assignments, per- formance based tasks, and projects.
