Guiding Principles for the Design of Learning Experiences and Assessment Practices

The Guiding Principles of Designing Learning Experiences and Assessment Practices in the French Immersion program provide guidance to all Manitoba educators as they design learning experiences and classroom assessments to strengthen, extend and expand student learning. Planning with the learner, the context, and the curricula in mind creates opportunities for the co-construction of inclusive learning experiences and assessment practices where the diverse learning needs, abilities and interests of each learner are met.

Assessment for and as learning involve learners in the process and support learner reflection; assessment of learning (commonly known as summative evaluation) measures final outcomes. All aspects, when done well, contribute to informed teaching and reliable judgment of learner progress.

Language is seen as a tool for communication, cognitive development and as a vector for personal and social growth.

The learner develops a sense of belonging to the Francophone community, both within the school and in the Francophone community outside the classroom.

Learning and assessment situations are learner-centred.

Learning and assessment situations take place in a rich and engaging learning environment that offers a climate of trust and respect.

The learning environment and learning and assessment experiences value human diversity.

The learning environment and learning and assessment experiences incorporate Indigenous perspectives and engage the learner in a process of reconciliation
