Our Philosophy:

Teachers provide clear learning targets to students and design assessments that are performances of understanding: authentic tasks as much as possible, relevant and student- friendly, encouraging student “buy-in” and made public and tied to learning objectives
Educators create multiple and varied assessments in order for students to demonstrate maximum learning, and to frequently show their individual achievement
Educators also design differentiated assessment tasks to better take advantage of their learning strengths. MYP Teachers give students multiple opportunities to master objectives by providing feedback in a timely manner along with allowing students to revise their work, when possible, according to rich, descriptive feedback
Self-assessment promotes ownership in one’s own education and encourages students to be reflective learners so teachers ask students to self-assess their learning because It is critical that students have the opportunity to practice self-assessment and reflection so they can master this lifelong skill while still in school.
