Assesment Strategy

Assesment Strategy

In order to provide a shared ownership of the assessment process and results, the students have regular, individual consultations with the home teachers and the subject teachers.

The assessment strategy incorporates criteria known by the student on the initial start of the learning process. Students know what is expected of them, there are no surprises or unfair judgments. This helps the student to feel empowered. It helps them in becoming conscious learners, who know their strengths and challenges.
