The Peel District School Board has long been committed to helping its teachers use the best assessment practices to improve student learning and the best known evaluation strategies and tools to ensure that student progress is tracked and reported fairly and accurately. The underpinning of all assessment and evaluation in Peel classrooms is Policy #14: Student Assessment and Evaluation in Peel Elementary and Secondary Schools. Revised in 2002, it reflects the policy, rationale, principles of effective assessment, a range of assessment tasks to promote fair and inclusive assessment, suggested assessment tools, and specific guides for elementary and for secondary schools. As well expectations around the communication of student progress and a glossary of assessment and evaluation terms, it ensures that no Peel educator, student or parent is left in the dark as to expectations. Policy #14 is supported by Policy # 70, Peel's Homework policy.
