The guiding principles for designing learning experiences and assessment practices in Manitoba’s French immersion Program provide guidance to educators as they design learning experiences and classroom assessments both within and outside of the classroom. The application of these principles allows learners to deepen their learning, develop their language proficiency and cultivate their plurilingual identity. 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.
The Guiding Principles for Evaluation and Reporting are currently still under development and not yet available. When completed, a notification will be added to the Manitoba Framework for Learning “What’s New?” page on the website.
