Important info for parents and students regarding the new Grade 10 Literacy Assessment
The Grade 10 Literacy Assessment is a provincial assessment that assesses student ability to use critical thinking and analysis to make meaning from a diverse array of texts. It also assesses the ability of students to communicate their ideas. The Grade 10 Literacy Assessment is not based on a particular course, but on learning across multiple subjects, from Kindergarten to Grade 10. The assessment is completed online in three parts. The exam is mandatory and essential for graduation. Students must take the assessment in their Grade 10 year.
All grade 10 students have been automatically registered for the assessment. All grade 10 English teachers will be briefly discussing the assessment in their classes and explain the format prior to the January 2020 write. Please note that the assessment can take up to 3 hours to complete and is not written within a student’s English class. The assessment will be completed in our school’s library and students will be writing over a four-day period, between Jan 20th-24th, according to their last name:
