PYP Assessment:
The purposes of assessment in the PYP (Primary Years Programme) are to:
-
promote student learning
-
provide information about student learning
-
contribute to the successful implementation of the programme.
In the PYP, learning is viewed as a continuous journey, where teachers identify students’ needs and use assessment data to plan the next stage of their learning.
Teachers use a wide range of assessment strategies to collect information on the understanding of concepts, the acquisition of knowledge, the mastering of skills, the development of positive attitudes and the ability to take responsible action.
