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

The student is beginning to demonstrate foundational knowledge and skills. Developing
The student demonstrates developing proficiency in the standard.

The student demonstrates the targeted understanding of knowledge and skills. Exhibiting Depth
