ASSESSMENT IN THE PYP

As part of the PYP, the assessment considers the planning of the learning objectives established in the scope and sequence of the primary program. It allows to monitor the learning progress of learners in understanding the central idea, the acquisition of knowledge and skills and the conceptual understanding. As part of their collaborative planning, teachers on a same grade level meet regularly throughout the module, to assess the progress of work and to reflect on the assessments. Various tools and strategies are implemented to collect evidence of learning. This may occur in various ways, through observations, reflections, brainstorming, actions, learning journal, clear evidence of the process/ product, rubric checklists, presentations, exhibitions, displays etc. In addition, assessments can be the subject of a self-assessment or a peer-assessment on the part of the students within the framework of a formative assessment which calls upon various tools and on different strategies: open-ended tasks, observations, assessment of the process to allow students to reflect on their progress and to set learning objectives. Teachers collect the data issued from those assessments and build their learning activities upon the results of analyzing this data. This data collection helps the teachers to effectively plan the next stages of learning and provide feedback to students . In the PYP, the recording of evidence of learners' progress is done in the portfolio through the compilation of activities to be presented to parents by the child at the end of each module .
