This course introduces pre-service teachers to the multi-dimensional and complex nature of the evaluation processes fundamental to equitably fostering and tracking development of competencies at the elementary level. In this course we will explore and construct a conceptual understanding of evaluation strategies that support student learning and how these strategies can be built into daily practice. We will also construct an understanding of those classroom practices that are required to focus students on expected learning outcomes and determine to what extent these expectations have been met. Drawing on Quebec curriculum guides and policies and current related research, students will begin learning how to incorporate effective assessment within a complex learning and evaluation situation.
