Assessment & Evaluation

Inclusive Curriculum and Assessment Practices
 
Policy:
Both in content and methodology, inclusive curriculum recognizes the Board’s commitment to
Catholic values and respect for all students.

Effective evaluation includes researched best practices that truly reflect the current level of
achievement of the student. Multiple and varied opportunities for assessment allow for student
learning and accuracy of assessment and instruction.
Students must be represented in the curriculum and heard in the assessment and evaluation,
Students’ voices are fundamental in the planning for instruction and the accuracy of
assessment.

The Board is committed to implementing an inclusive curriculum based on Catholic values, the
Ontario Catholic Graduate Expectations and to reviewing resources, instruction, and
assessment and evaluation practices in order to identify and address discriminatory biases so
that each student may maximize her or his learning potential. Catholic Education views human
life as an integration of body, mind, and spirit. Rooted in this vision, Catholic Education fosters
the search for knowledge as a lifelong spiritual and academic quest. The expectations of
 
Catholic graduates, therefore, are described not only in terms of knowledge and skills, but in
terms of values, attitudes and actions. The Catholic vision regarding the value of the human
person and his/her journey is passed on only through community. Therefore it is imperative that
the entire Catholic community shares the responsibility to educate our young people.
