Strategies for Assessment

Assessment for learning will directly influence student learning by reinforcing the connections between assessment and instruction, and provide ongoing feedback to the student. Assessment for learning occurs as part of the daily teaching process and helps teachers form a clear picture of the needs of the students because students are encouraged to be more active in their learning and associated assessment. Teachers gather this information to shape their teaching environment.

Assessment for learning is:

Ongoing
Is tied to learning outcomes
Provides information that structures the teachers’ planning and instruction
Allows teachers to provide immediate and descriptive feedback that will guide student learning

The purpose of assessment for learning is to create self-regulated and lifelong learners.

Teaching and Learning Strategies

Grade 12 HHS4U, Families in Canada examines issues and challenges facing individuals and families in Canada’s diverse society. In this course, students will draw on sociological, anthropological and psychological theories and research to examine factors affecting families and assess policies and practices intended to support Canadian families.Social sciences and humanities courses focus on the use of disciplined, structured inquiry to understand human beings, human behaviour, and human nature. These courses promote the use of reason as part of the structured inquiry process, while also recognizing the limitations of reason as a way of learning, knowing, and understanding.

Students interact in student-paced and instructor-paced interactive, engaging instructional lessons.
Encourage students to identify and question assumptions and values that underlie individual behaviour and family and social/cultural life.
Challenge texts, reading “underneath, behind, and beyond” texts and questioning how they influence us and others and whose interests they serve, enables students to develop their critical literacy skills.
Engage actively in solving problems confronted by individuals, families, diverse groups, institutions, and societies.
Opportunities to enhance their self-understanding and understanding of others through an examination of their personal belief systems and also of the foundations and implications of different viewpoints and lived experiences of others.
Students develop an understanding and appreciation of the contexts through which their own and others’ world views are formed through a proximity of their own perceptions, attitudes, values, and beliefs with those of others.
Encouraged to be mindful of their responsibilities with respect to the environment and of the importance of making morally and ethically responsible decisions.
Explore how theories and concepts can influence social action, and how such action can affect the well-being of individuals, families, and communities throughout the world.
Opportunities to learn in a variety of ways- individually, cooperatively, independently, with teacher direction, through hands-on experiences, and through examples followed by practice.
By accomplishing prompts on interactive lessons, students can reflect on different texts. In addition, constant communication with teachers ensures that the students understand complex topics and apply them in their writing. They can also accomplish other tasks through the use of: animations, videos, discussion forums, live chat and other interactive objects.

Final Grade

Percentage of Final Mark	Categories of Mark Breakdown
70%	Assessments of Learning Tasks Throughout the Term
30%	Final Written Examination And/Or RST

A student’s final grade is reflective of their most recent and most consistent level of achievement.

The balance of the weighting of the categories of the achievement chart throughout the course is:

CHALLENGE AND CHANGE IN SOCIETY	Knowledge	Inquiry/Thinking	Communication	Application
100%	20%	30%	20%	30%

Report Card

Student achievement will be communicated formally to students via an official report card. Report cards are issued at the midterm point in the course, as well as upon completion of the course. Each report card will focus on two distinct, but related aspects of student achievement.

First, the achievement of curriculum expectations is reported as a percentage grade. Additionally, the course median is reported as a percentage. The teacher will also provide written comments concerning the student’s strengths, areas for improvement, and next steps. Second, the learning skills are reported as a Needs Improvement, Satisfactory, Good and Excellent. The report card also indicates whether an OSSD credit has been earned.

Upon completion of a course, KAI global school will send a copy of the report card back to the student’s home school (if in Ontario) where the course will be added to the ongoing list of courses on the student’s Ontario Student Transcript. The report card will also be sent to the student’s home address.

Considerations for Online Courses

Cheating and Plagiarism

KAI global school commits to having policies for assessments that minimize the risk of cheating. We also commit to begin each course with refresher learning on academic integrity.

In the event of incidences of academic dishonesty, the student, Academic Director (and, in the case of students under 18, their parents) will be notified of the occurrence, of the consequence, and of the potential consequences of subsequent incidents.

Instructional Approaches

Teachers will use a variety of instructional strategies to help students become independent, strategic and successful learners. The key to student success is effective, accessible instruction. When planning this course of instruction, the teacher will identify the main concept and skills of the course, consider the context in which students will apply their learning and determine the students’ learning goals. The instructional program for this course will be well planned and will support students in reaching their optimal level of challenge for learning, while directly teaching the skills that are required for success.

Understanding student strengths and needs will enable the teacher to plan effective instruction and meaningful assessments. Throughout this course the teacher will continually observe and assess the students’ readiness to learn, their interests, and their preferred learning styles and individual learning needs.

Teachers will use differentiated instructional approaches such as:

adjusting the method or pace of instruction
using a variety of resources
allowing a wide choice of topics
adjusting the learning environment
scaffolding instruction

During this course, the teacher will provide multiple opportunities for students to apply their knowledge and skills and consolidate and reflect upon their learning.

Special Educational Needs Student Planning.

The teacher in this course is the key educator of students with special education needs. The teacher has a responsibility to help all students learn, and will work collaboratively with the guidance counselor, where appropriate, to achieve this goal. In planning this course, the teacher will pay particular attention to the following guidelines:

All students have the ability to succeed
Each student has his or her own unique patterns of learning
Successful instructional practices are founded on evidence-based research, tempered by experience
Universal design and differentiated instruction are effective and interconnected means of meeting the learning or productivity needs of any group of students

ESL Student Program Planning

In planning this course for students with linguistic backgrounds other than English, the teacher will create a safe, supportive, and welcoming environment that nurtures the students’ self-confidence while they are receiving course instruction. Most English language learners who have developed oral proficiency in everyday English will nevertheless require instructional scaffolding to meet curriculum expectations. The teacher will adapt the instructional program in order to facilitate the success of these students in their classes. Appropriate adaptations and strategies for this course will include:

Students with English as Second Language
Body language and non-verbal communication Model expectations Subject-specific dictionary Cooperative learning Concrete examples and materials Avoid idioms Bilingual Dictionaries Buddy system Peer tutors Allow sufficient response time Graphic organizers Scaffolding Story maps	Conferencing Pre-writing strategies Literature circle Journal Previewing course readings / texts Materials that reflect cultural diversity Free voluntary reading Guided Reading Guided Writing Think Aloud Whole-Class Response Editing checklist

At the beginning of this class, all students will be made aware of issues related to Internet privacy, safety, and responsible use, as well as of the potential for abuse of this technology, particularly when it is used to promote hatred. ICT used in this course will include:

Information and Communication Technology
Websites Online libraries Archives Public records YouTube Curriculum Digital Resources Widgets Online Graphing Calculator	Cell phones iPads DVDs Digital Camera Edsby Gsuite Office 365 Gizmos Labster Gradeslam Mathspace Mathletics Screencastify

Promotion of Careers

The knowledge and skills students acquire in this course will be useful in helping students recognize the value of their education and applications to the world outside of school and identify possible careers, essential skills and work habits required to succeed. Students will learn how to connect their learning in asking questions and finding answers to employable skills.

During this course the teacher will:

ensure that all students develop the knowledge and skills they need to make informed education and career/life choices;
Provide learning environment and online school-wide opportunities for this learning; and;
Engage parents and the broader community in the development, implementation, and evaluation of the program, to support students in their learning
Use the four-step inquiry process linked to the four areas of learning
- Knowing yourself – Who am I ?
- Exploring opportunities – What are my opportunities?
- Making decisions and setting goals – Who do I want to become?
- Achieving goals and making transitions – What is my plan for achieving my goals?

The teacher will support students in this course in education and career/life planning by providing them with learning opportunities, filtered through the lens of the four inquiry questions, that allow them to apply subject-specific knowledge and skills to work-related situations; explore subject-related education and career/life options; and become competent, self-directed planners.

I love the freedom of self-studying. I can work on my own time. I also have a flexible schedule and super supportive teachers.

Yosr. K

Besides the fact that Kanata Academy International helped me to enlarge my field of knowledge and be eager to learn, what I love most about it is how understanding and kind the teachers are. Their motivational words and their encouragement helped me more than anything to develop self-confidence, discover my strengths and work on my weaknesses.

Natalie. S

I love everything about KAI; especially the assignments in the courses. My teachers always ask me to do interesting projects and presentations… I felt a sense of achievement every time I completed my work. I also felt so energized and motivated when receiving encouraging feedback from my teachers. The kind of assessments I did at KAI really encourages me a lot.
