grading and reporting

The final year of IBMYP provides multiple opportunities for students to demonstrate their accomplishments and achievements.  In addition to completing Community Service and the Personal Project, students complete assessments in their courses that use rigorous, holistic criteria that measure the course objectives.  In general, all course objectives include developing knowledge, skills and perspectives essential to those seeking to make a difference in the modern world.

 

Judgments of student performance are made against the criterion multiple times during the year, through assignments, tests, quizzes, activities, projects, and other meaningful ways.  At the end of the course, teachers provide a final score that best fits the students’ final achievement.

 

Scores are then converted to grades, with the following descriptors consistent for all courses:

 

Grade 1

Minimal achievement in terms of the objectives.

Grade 2

Very limited achievement against all the objectives.  The student has difficulty in understanding the required knowledge and skills and is unable to apply them fully in normal situations, even with support.

Grade 3

Limited achievement against most of the objectives, or clear difficulties in some areas.  The students demonstrate a limited understanding of the required knowledge and skills and are only able to apply them fully in normal situations with support.

Grade 4

A good general understanding of the required knowledge and skills, and the ability to apply them effectively in normal situations.  There is occasional evidence of the skills of analysis, synthesis and evaluation.

Grade 5

A consistent and thorough understanding of the required knowledge and skills, and the ability to apply them in a variety of situations.  The student generally shows evidence of analysis, synthesis and evaluation where appropriate and occasionally demonstrates originality and insight.

Grade 6

A consistent and thorough understanding of the required knowledge and skills, and the ability to apply them in a wide variety of situations.  Consistent evidence of analysis, synthesis and evaluation is shown where appropriate.  The student generally demonstrates originality and insight.

Grade 7

A consistent and thorough understanding of the required knowledge and skills, and the ability to apply them almost faultlessly in a wide variety of situations.  Consistent evidence of analysis, synthesis and evaluation is shown where appropriate.  The student consistently demonstrates originality and insight and always produces work of high quality.
