How is my son or daughters Health Education report card mark calculated?
Assessment techniques are devised to gather information related to how well students are achieving the learning objectives of the curriculum. For each unit of study, students are assessed based upon their abilities to access and evaluate information, to make an informed decision, and to design and carry out an action plan. Data about a student’s knowledge of health education content and his or her ability to access and evaluate health-related information may be collected through the use of presentations, individual or group assignments, quizzes, projects, reports, and so on. Data about a student’s ability to make decisions can be collected by using case studies, scenarios, audiotapes, written assignments, or matrices. Rubrics, checklists, and rating scales are examples of ways to collect data about a student’s ability to design and carry out an action plan.
