What are the anticipated benefits of CAA for the learning system?
There are many potential benefits of the CAA system to students, teachers, schools, and school authorities in Alberta. Teachers and students could benefit by having ongoing access to curriculum-specific assessment tools to identify areas of strength and weakness. Tracking their progress over time, students will be empowered to take measures to address areas of weakness in their learning and to celebrate their strengths. Teachers will have access to detailed yet understandable reports that clearly identify the progress of student learning and can use this information to modify instruction to reach students who are not grasping concepts.
