Middle School Standards-Based Assessment and Reporting At HKIS we adopt a principle driven approach to Assessment, Grading and Reporting. Details of these principles and their corresponding practices are available on DragonNet. At the Middle School division we believe that: • Students benefit from feedback that describes their level of learning against standards. • Feedback on approaches to learning should be given separately. Middle School reporting is based on the following two rubrics. These outline the academic expectations and learning habits, which students are assessed with.
General Academic Scale Emerging
