Next semester we will be building upon our focus on the school Vision and Mission by developing our understanding of the Learner Profile Attributes as our official School-Wide Outcomes, and the ATL skills as our official Global Competencies. Please see the graphics at the bottom of this page.
Our first day back will involve a half day of PD looking at how the LP's are expressed throughout the school K-12.

End of Semester MYP Grade
Determining the final level of achievement for a criteria- MYP
In order to determine the final level of achievement for a criteria at the end of a semester, the following questions should be asked:
a. What does the most recent evidence tell us about the student’s level of achievement?
b. What is the “Highest sustained achievement” in that criterion since the beginning of the year?
c. In your best professional judgment, based on all available evidence, which grade level descriptor best fits the student achievement in this criterion at this time?
Below are examples of summative grades for a specific criteria, and how the final level of achievement for that criterion were determined.
Examples: Criteria C
3
|
4
|
3
|
Final Level: 3
|
Best sustained + most recent evidence. There is no progression of improvement. 4 was not sustained, three is the highest sustained level.
|
2
|
4
|
5
|
Final Level: 5
|
First mark is the start of a clear progression towards the current achievement of 5, the most recent evidence. Assuming learning continuums and formative assessment also demonstrated this progression, 5 would be appropriate. If not 4, because 5 has not yet been sustained, and the progression is not fully supported by other work.
|
5
|
5
|
3
|
Final Level: 5
|
Best sustained overrides most recent. Assuming the formative assessment and learning continuums demonstrated sustained achievement in this descriptor, the 3 could be considered “Anomalous”. However, if the summative 3 is matched by formative assessments and learning continuums that show the 5 is not sustained and the 3 is not anomalous, a 4 could be considered.
