Diagnostic assessment is used at the beginning of a unit to assist in determining a starting point for instruction. Assessments for Learning and as Learning (AFL & AAL) provide information to students as they are learning and refining their skills. Assessment of Learning (AOL), at the end of units and course, provides students with the opportunity to synthesize/apply/demonstrate their learning and the achievement of the expectations. The course also provides the students with a variety of ways to demonstrate their knowledge through the so-called Triangulation Assessments, which may assess students through Observation and/or Conversation (i.e. Oral Presentations or Student Interviews), as well as Student Products. The AOLs are posted at the end of each unit.
There are four levels of achievement for students who are passing the course:
- Level 1 (50-59%)
- Level 2 (60-69%)
- Level 3 (70-79%)
- Level 4 (80-100%)
Level 3 is the provincial standard for student achievement.
The final grade will include the following weighting:
| Knowledge | Thinking/Inquiry | Communication | Application |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12.5 | 25 | 25 | 25 |
| Understanding | |||
| 12.5 |
Seventy percent (70%) of the grade will be based on evaluation conducted throughout the course. Final evaluation will take into account the student’s most recent and most consistent performance.
Thirty percent (30%) of the grade will be based on a final evaluation consisting of the final examination and the independent study unit, which will take into account the entire course, including the student’s most recent and most consistent performance.
Proctoring
The tests are typically a paper-pen evaluation written at a mutually agreed time, date, and location. The tests will be proctored, meaning a suitable adult with a dedicated identifiable and authentic email address will supervise you writing the tests. This process ensures the security and integrity of the test. Any person related or affiliated to the student in a personal way cannot serve as a test supervisor.
Resources required by the student
- A scanner, smart phone camera, or similar device to upload handwritten or hand-drawn work
- A front-facing camera on a desktop, laptop, or mobile device to allow for proctoring over the internet
- Internet access and a modern standards-compliant web browser
The tuition for this course is $800 for Canadian students and $2000 for international students.
Refunds
Maple Leaf School does not issue refunds. When a student enrolls in our course, MLS administration team undertakes many tasks including establishing electronic/physical files, assigning teachers and tracking the enrolment for Ministry purposes, etc. The work is completed by our school the moment you register online.
