Levels of Achievement Performance Indicator Grade Descriptor Science Criteria A 1 – 2 *Shows some awareness of ways in which science is applied and used to solve local and global problems * States effectiveness of science and its application in solving problems and issues * States how science and its application interact with some of the following factors: moral, ethical, social, economic, political, cultural and environmental 3 – 4 Describes and explains with reasonable understanding ways in which science is applied and used to solve local and global problems * Describes effectiveness of science and its application in solving problems and issues * Describes how science and its application interact with at least one of the following factors: moral, ethical, social, economic, political, cultural and environmental 5 – 6 *Describes and explains with good insight ways in which science is applied and used to solve local and global problems * Describes and explains with good insight the effectiveness of science and its application in solving problems and issues * Describes how science and its application interact with several of the following factors: moral, ethical, social, economic, political, cultural and environmental
16. Tasks Students complete various assessment tasks. Evidence of achievement is entered into the teacher’s grade book by criteria Students continue to complete assessment tasks until the end of course
17. Final levels in each criterion are added to provide a criterion levels total for each student. Criterion Final Judgment A 4 B 6 C 4 D 5 E 5 F 6 Total 30

This philosophy is a rich fit for criterion-referenced assessment like what is used in the MYP. It also lends itself nicely to performance based, real world, and authentic types of assessment.
In the MYP we are always asking ourselves, what do the students know, what can they do, and what do they understand?
Assessment in the MYP is not an “ i-gotcha ” , but rather a tool for both the teacher and the student to identify strengths and weaknesses and inform next steps in instruction; a reflective tool to help students become life long learners. Students play an active role in tracking the results of their assessment.
Each criteria (in each subject) should be assessed several times over the semester or year The teacher uses professional judgement based on most recent evidence to determine the final level of the student at that point in time NOT an arithmetical average NO fractions – whole numbers only
Using Grade descriptors teachers develop task specific rubrics. Determining Levels of Achievement: Each “ criterion ” is split into various performance indicators – normally in bands Each band is described in terms of general statements called level descriptors Levels 1 & 2 on first band, 3 & 4 on second band, etc. Teacher determines the best fit; all strands of a criteria must be met for a student to receive that performance indicator. This means that teachers are not comparing your students work with that of others, but they are checking it against the criteria in your rubrics. The criteria are predetermined by the IBO and all MYP students must be evaluated with them.
Rubrics Grade descriptors are used by teachers to develop rubrics Rubric means assessment table IB rubrics are criteria-related Task-specific rubric are developed from the holistic rubrics
Parent will need to look at handout to see the chart on right hand side. They will need to look at the criteria for Humanities and the “scales” – 10-10-10-8. If the parent wants to see the “full” criterion for a criteria they will need to reference the website.
