Assessment for Learning

Core skills, knowledge & understandings are targeted over the course of the three-year program, integrating subject areas and covering academic, personal, and global citizenship competencies. Teachers and students participate in an ongoing process of formative assessment which drives future learning, in addition to evaluation of learning outcomes. Students also participate in twice-annual benchmark assessments in math & literacy using Measures of Academic Progress, which helps teachers & students plan their next learning steps and growth over time. Self-reflection is an integral part of learning in the IMYC and in our Montessori curriculum through Grade 5. Units and assessment target three areas:

  • Academic competencies

  • Global citizenship competencies

  • Personal skills & attributes
