    Highlights from Royal Oak Schools MYP Assessment Policy

    In our Middle Years Programme, meaningful assessment of learning answers the questions:
    • --What do we want to learn?
    • --How will we know if we've learned?
    • --What will we do if we haven't learned?

    Purposes of assessment:

    • --Support and encourage learning and progress toward meeting district goals, IB/MYP criteria and certificate, and state of Michigan Common Core State Standards (CCSS) for graduation and college/career readiness.
    • --Provide feedback to students, parents, and teachers on student progress in learning
    • --Promote critical and higher-order thinking skills, deep and authentic understanding of content, inquiry into real-world contexts, and positive attitudes toward lifelong learning.
    • --Reflect international-mindedness
    • --Support development of the whole student

    Methods of Assessment:

    ELA9 will use formative (practice), summative (mastery of standards), and common assessments (across all classrooms). Assessments may include, but are not limited to:

     
    • --Projects, Presentations, and Performances (both live and/or incorporating digital media)
    • --Essays, Compositions, Lab Reports
    • --Portfolios,Process Journals, Writers Notebooks
    • --Tests, Quizzes, Exams
    • --Group or Panel Discussions, Online Forums, Socratic Seminars
