Senior School PARENT GUIDE TO ASSESSMENT & REPORTING 2016 / 17
English / Mandarin
THE AIMS OF THIS GUIDE ARE TWOFOLD
1. To ensure parents understand how their child is assessed at NLCS Jeju 2. To provide an explanation of how we report on each child’s learning across the different year groups
Assessment and Reporting at NLCS Jeju
1. ASSESSMENT 1.1 The Purpose of Assessment Assessment is not an end in itself; its main purpose is to support your child’s learning by identifying what he/she already knows and can do, and what their next steps should be. BY ASSESSING STUDENTS ACCURATELY AND CONSISTENTLY AND RECORDING KEY INFORMATION TEACHERS:
Build a clear picture of each student’s skills, knowledge, understanding and approaches to learning; Identify each student’s strengths and the priority areas for their future learning; Identify an appropriate curriculum for each student; Identify “next steps” for each student and express these as clear learning objectives; Identify the achievement made in individual lessons or series of lessons; Evaluate the achievement that each student is making over time; Evaluate and improve the teaching strategies used with each student; Support students, where appropriate, to monitor their own learning; Identify, celebrate and share achievement.
1.2 How we assess your child The first thing to note is that your child’s achievement is not always linear and so as teachers we assess your child over a period of time and not just through one test. THERE ARE A VARIETY OF WAYS WE ASSESS YOUR CHILD HERE AT NLCS JEJU. THESE FALL INTO THREE KEY AREAS:
Day-to-day assessment – this will be the informal assessment of your child’s learning that teachers carry out in every lesson. Periodic assessment – this is more formal assessment at the end of a topic/term. Transitional assessment – this is very formal assessment at the end of the year either through internal exams or external (IGCSE or IB exams). MORE SPECIFICALLY YOUR CHILD’S TEACHERS MAY ASSESS YOUR CHILD’S LEARNING IN THE FOLLOWING WAYS:
Observational assessment – where teachers observe your child’s responses to learning activities and unstructured situations; Dynamic assessment – where teachers look at your child’s responses in the context of learning a task; Questioning - which enables the teacher to make a judgement about your child’s degree of understanding; Criterion-referenced assessment - which measures your child’s attainment against a list of skills or pieces of knowledge; Formal assessment - where your child is asked to complete tests or set tasks which indicate his or her knowledge or approach to learning; Marking and review of written work (essays, projects, creative writing, reports); Mind maps, before and after topics; Tests set by the class teacher. 2
1.3 How teachers use this assessment HERE AT NLCS JEJU WE USE ASSESSMENT TO HELP YOUR CHILD ACHIEVE THEIR BEST AND ENSURE THEY ACHIEVE EXCELLENCE IN THEIR EXTERNAL ASSESSMENTS AT IGCSE AND IB. IN ADDITION, OUR TEACHERS USE ASSESSMENT TO:
Ensure your child has work that is suitably challenging and engaging; Give your child guidance on how to improve a piece of work; Provide your child with extra support where required; Gauge what your child knows and what he/she doesn’t know; Reward your child through verbal/written praise or by giving work academic merits; In certain subjects (English and Maths) it helps us to ensure your child is in the right set.

2. GRADES 2.1 Attainment Grades THROUGHOUT THE SENIOR SCHOOL AT NLCS JEJU WE WILL USE OUR INTERNAL GRADING SYSTEM (NLCS JEJU LEVEL) WHEN WE FORMALLY ASSESS YOUR CHILD. THIS IS A SCALE OF 7-1, WITH 7 BEING THE HIGHEST AND 1 BEING THE LOWEST. TEACHERS MAY USE THIS GRADING SCALE ON SOME PIECES OF ASSESSED WORK DURING TERM TIME, ON END OF YEAR EXAMS (ALONG WITH A PERCENTAGE) AND IT WILL APPEAR AS A SUMMARY OF YOUR CHILD’S ACHIEVEMENTS ON THEIR TERMLY REPORTS. PLEASE NOTE:
When awarding grades on your child’s report teachers will use the descriptors (NLCS Jeju Level) set out below to assess their attainment over the term (and the year in the final report). It will not be based on one test, but will include review of a range of assessments, homework, class work, written work, verbal work and practical activities. The descriptors should be read in line with what is to be reasonably expected from a student of that year
group i.e. a Year 7 student would not be expected to produce work of the same standard as a Year 8 and so on. The performance indicators are not an exhaustive list and not all performance indicators apply in every subject.
Students do not have to meet every single performance indicator in each subject to be awarded that grade. Teachers will award the grade that most accurately describes the student’s attainment when taken as a whole.
2.2 The NLCS Jeju Level Descriptors Grade 7 STUDENTS WILL DEMONSTRATE EXCELLENT UNDERSTANDING AND THOROUGH KNOWLEDGE FOR A STUDENT OF THEIR YEAR GROUP IN ANY GIVEN SUBJECT. PERFORMANCE INDICATORS FOR A GRADE 7 MAY INCLUDE BEING ABLE TO

Show consistent evidence of critical thinking in their work and a strong appreciation of alternative points of view. Give verbal answers with clarity and fluency and with a precise use of terminology. Demonstrate high levels of creativity, insight and originality. Confidently relate abstract and material concepts and facts. Show highly developed analytical skills of written texts, images, performance and data and come to a justified conclusion.

2.3 Attitude to Learning Grades (ATL) IN ADDITION, ON YOUR CHILD’S TERMLY REPORT WE WILL ALSO REPORT ON HIS/HER ATTITUDE TO LEARNING (ATL GRADE). THIS IS AN INTERNAL GRADING SYSTEM FROM 1-4, WITH 1 BEING THE HIGHEST AND 4 BEING THE LOWEST. PLEASE NOTE THE FOLLOWING:
These grades are to be used across all year groups in the senior school. When awarding grades teachers will use these criteria to assess your child's ATL over the term (and the year in the final report). Students may not have met every single criterion for each grade, but teachers will award the grade that most accurately describes your child when taken as a whole. Grade 1 A STUDENT AT NLCS JEJU BEING AWARDED A GRADE 1 ATL WILL:
Display enthusiasm and excitement for learning and participate fully in all activities. Show a tenacious approach to their learning. Extend tasks, pursuing their own interests. Be an autonomous learner and also work constructively with peers. Take risks with their learning, trying out different approaches and ideas and showing courage in asking difficult questions and dealing with uncertainty. Complete work to the very best of the their ability and always meet deadlines. Be thoroughly prepared and punctual for all lessons and activities.
Grade 2 A STUDENT AT NLCS JEJU BEING AWARDED A GRADE 2 ATL WILL:
Be engaged, motivated and generally enthusiastic about their learning. Participate well in their learning. Be constructive and positive in group work and show signs of becoming an autonomous learner. Make a good effort to fulfill all the requirements of work set in a conscientious manner and will meet deadlines. Ask questions to further their own learning and take the initiative in seeking assistance and advice from the teacher. Be punctual and bring the correct equipment/books/kit to lessons.
Grade 3 A STUDENT AT NLCS JEJU BEING AWARDED A GRADE 3 ATL WILL:
Sometimes be disengaged from the learning process and demonstrate a lack of motivation in class and in their homework assignments. Do the minimum required in their work and sometimes fail to meet the expected standard. Rarely ask questions and have minimal participation in class. Show limited interest in improving their learning and not always take the initiative in asking for assistance and advice. Work well only under some supervision. Not always meet deadlines. Sometimes come to class without the correct equipment/kit/books. Grade 4 A STUDENT AT NLCS JEJU BEING AWARDED A GRADE 4 ATL WILL:
Be disengaged from their learning, showing no interest in the subject. Show no interest in improving understanding. Never seek assistance or advice from the teacher and may be reluctant to take advice when it is given. Produce work that is frequently below the expected standard and the comments made by teachers and targets set are generally ignored. Not participate constructively in lessons and require close or constant supervision. Sometimes be disruptive. Often be late to lessons and/or without the appropriate equipment/kit/books. 8
2.4 IGCSE During Years 10 and 11, your child will study IGCSEs.They will sit their external exams at the end of Year 11 and receive their results in August. Currently, IGCSE exams are graded on a numeric scale from A*-G. Most students at NLCS Jeju attain grades A* or A. During, these years we will still report home using our internal scale (the NLCS Jeju level).
2.5 IB During Years 12 and 13, your child will study for the International Baccalaureate (IB). They will sit their external exams at the end of Year 13 and receive their results in July. IB exams are graded on a numeric scale from 7-1. Most students at NLCS Jeju attain grades 7 or 6. During these years we will still report home using the NLCS Jeju level.
2.6 Guide Grades and Predicted Grades In addition, in order to help students consider their university courses, we will also provide an ‘IB Guide Grade’ at the end of Year 12, which will be based on the IB points system. This grade will not be part of the report sent home to you that term. In mid-September of year 13 we request IB Predicted Grades from subject teachers based on work covered since the start of the programme and likely future performance based on each student’s Attitude to Learning. Again, these will not form part of your child’s report.
2.7 Transcript Grades Many international universities require schools to provide them with Transcript Grades from Years 10-13. These are end of year grades from each of the relevant years. The Transcript Grade will be an NLCS Jeju level. Some also require an Interim Transcript Grade in Year 13 and we will use your child’s report grades from their Term Two Report.
2.8 Mock Examinations During January,Years 11 and 13 sit mock examinations for IGCSE and IB respectively. The grade they achieve for this exam will form part of the judgment teachers will make when deciding on the grade for their Term Two Report, as the exams took place within this reporting period. The internal exam results will not have a significant impact on the end of year Transcript Grade, as this grade will be based on all the work covered over this academic year.
3. REPORTS 3.1 How and when we report Your child will receive a report each term. The dates vary depending on the year group as we have structured the reporting periods around the needs of each year group. Please see Key Dates Section at the end of this document for more detail on when your child will receive his/her reports. You can also find them in the termly paper calendar or on the calendar in the website. After our review last year that so many of you contributed to, we are delighted to announce our “new look” reports, which we hope you will find informative and easy to use. An exemplar is attached at the end of this document. As usual, you will be able to access your child’s report on the parent portal. However, this term we are trialling sending your child home with a printed report. Therefore, if your child is in Years 10-13, please look out for their report when they come home for October half term. And, if your child in in Years 7-9, their report will come home with them at Christmas. We will be contacting parents in January for comments on the new system, so do give us feedback then.
3.2 Different types of report Report Name Grade Report
HM/Tutor Report
Subject Report
Contents • Attainment Grades and Attitude to Learning Grades for each subject • Attainment Grades and Attitude to Learning Grades for each subject • A comment from your child’s Tutor and House Master/Mistress
• Attainment Grades and Attitude to Learning Grades for each subject • A comment and target from each of your child’s Subject Teachers
3.3 Open Houses Your child will have two Open Houses per year. These events are great opportunities for you to meet with your child’s teachers and discuss how they are getting on.You can book a 5 minute appointment with each teacher through the parent portal on Engage. It is advisable to bring along with you your child’s most recent report so you have a copy of their grades in front of you whilst you speak with their teachers. Please see Section 5 for dates and times.
3.4 Transcripts As stated above, many international universities require Transcript Grades. Our Universities Team will create a Transcript for your child as part of their application process which contains all of their end of year grades from Year 10 onwards. 10
3.5 Your Role as Parents Research has shown that parental engagement in their child’s education is one of the key factors in promoting academic success. Reading your child’s report with him or her is a great way of doing this. It gives you an opportunity to congratulate them on their successes and give support to them in areas where they are not as strong. Ask them questions about their learning; what do they find easy; what do they find hard; what are they most proud of at school etc. Your child will have spent time during tutor time before reports go home reflecting on their achievements, so they should be able to have a meaningful discussion with you about their learning. In addition, if you have any concerns about any of the grades/comments in any of your child’s reports, please do not hesitate to contact your child’s House Master/Mistress or Tutor or Subject Teacher. 11

本指南有两个目的:
1. 确保家长明白北伦敦国际学校济州分校如何评价学生 2. 解释我们如何报告每位孩子在不同年级的学习情况和进展
北伦敦国际学校济州分校学生 评价及报告
1. 评价 1.1 评价的目的 评价本身并不是目的;其主要目的在于发现您的孩子已经掌握的知识和技能,及确定孩子下 一步的发展方向,支持孩子的学习。 通过准确持续评价学生和记录关键信息,老师: 清晰了解每位学生的技能、 知识、 理解能力和学习方式; 发现每位学生的优势及确定其未来的优先学习领域; 为每位学生制定适合的课程; 确定每位学生的 “下一步” 发展,并作为学习目标明确下来; 明确学生在单一课程或系列课程中取得的成就; 评价每个学生的学习进度; 针对每位学生的教学策略进行评价和提高; 在适当的情况下,支持学生进行自我学习监督; 发现、 祝贺及分享成就。
1.2 我们如何评价您的孩子 第一点需要注意的是,孩子的成绩并不总是线性的。 因此作为老师,我们并不只是通过一次测 试,而是根据孩子一段时间的表现来进行评价。 在北伦敦国际学校济州分校,评价孩子的方式多种多样,主要分为以下3种: 日常评价 – 老师在每堂课对您孩子的学习进行的非正式评价。 阶段性评价 – 在每个主题/学期结束时进行的更为正式的评价。 过渡性评价 – 在每年结束时通过学校内部考试或外部考试(IGCSE 或IB)进行的非常正式的评价。 具体来说,老师会通过以下方式对您孩子的学习进行评价: 观察评估 – 老师观察孩子对学习活动和非结构化情景的反应; 动态评价 – 老师观察孩子在学习一项任务时的反应; 询问- 这使得老师对您孩子的理解程度做出判断; 标准参照评价-根据技能清单或知识要点评估孩子的成就; 正式评价 - 要求孩子完成测试或布置反映孩子知识或学习方式的任务; 对书面作业进行评分和检查(论文、 项目、 创意写作、 报告) ; 学习某项主题内容之前、 之后的思维发展 ; 班级老师进行的测试。 16
1.3 老师如何利用这些评价 在北伦敦国际学校济州分校我们用这些评价来帮助您的孩子获得充分发展,并确保他们在IGCSE和IB这些外 部考试中取得优异成绩。 此外,我们老师还用这些评价进行 : 保证您的孩子从事具有一定挑战性和参与性的任务; 指导学生如何更好地完成一项任务; 在需要时,向孩子提供额外帮助; 评估您孩子的知与不知; 对您孩子进行口头/书面表扬或给予学术加分; 对于一些学科(如英语和数学),这些评价帮助我们保证您的孩子分在适合的班级里。
17
2. 等级 2.1 成就等级 在北伦敦国际学校济州分校中学部,我们采用内部评分体系(北伦敦国际学校济州分校标准)正式评价您的 孩子。 等级为7-1,7为最高等级,1为最低等级。 老师在评价学期内的一些考核作业和年终考试(百分比评 分)时采用这一评价等级,并作为成就总结出现在孩子的学年报告中。 请注意: 老师在学生成绩报告所给出的等级,包括年终报告中的学年成就等级,都对应于下面列出的描述性评 价。 这些评价是北伦敦国际学校济州分校用来评价学生学期成就的标准。 等级给分不会基于一次考试,而会包括对一系列测验、 作业、 班级活动、 书面作业、 口头作业和实践活 动进行考核。 在理解这些描述语时,应考虑对该年级学生的合理期望。 如我们不应该期望一个7年级的学生完成的作 业能达到8年级学生的标准,以此类推。 些表现指标清单并不详尽,且并非所有表现指标都适用于每个学科。 学生并不需要在每个学科上的 这 每一个指标都达标才能获得那一等级。 老师给学生的评级会最大程度地准确描述学生的整体表现。

2.4 IGCSE 在10 和11年级,您的孩子会学习IGCSE课程。他们将在11年级结束时参加外部考试,并于8月份获知考试 结果。目前,IGCSE考试的评分等级为A*-G。北伦敦国际学校济州分校大多数学生能取得等级 A* 或A。在 这两个年级,我们的报告仍会采用内部等级标准(北伦敦国际学校济州分校标准)。
2.5 IB 在12和13年级,您的孩子会学习IB课程。他们将在13年级结束时参加外部考试,并于7月份获知考试结 果。IB考试的评分等级为7-1。北伦敦国际学校济州分校大多数学生能取得等级 7 或6。在这两个年级,我 们的报告仍会采用北伦敦国际学校济州岛分标准。
2.6 指南等级和预测等级 此外,为了帮助学生考虑他们的大学课程,我们还在12年级结束时提供一份基于IB分数体系的“IB指南等 级”。该等级不会出现在您在12年级学期末收到的报告中。 在13年级的9月中旬,我们会要求学科老师根据每位学生 IB 学习开始以来的任务执行情况、学习态度以及 后续IB 学习的预计表现,来预估学生的IB分数 。同样,这个预估的分数也不会出现在您孩子的报告中。
2.7 学生成绩单 世界许多大学都要求学校提交10-13年级的学生成绩单。学生成绩单上的成绩是每学年结束时的学年成 绩。成绩单上的评分等级也将是北伦敦国际学校济州分校标准。一些学校会要求提供13年级的年中成绩 单,我们会使用孩子第二学期的成绩报告。
2.8 模拟考试 1月份,11年级和13年级的学生会分别参加IGCSE和IB模拟考试。因为模拟考试发生在第二学期,因此老师 在决定学生第二学期的成绩等级时会参考此次模考的成绩。这次内部考试的结果对年终成绩单的评分影响 不大,因为年终成绩是由孩子整个学年的所有任务完成情况来决定的。
3. 报告 3.1 如何报告以及报告日期 每个学期您的孩子都会收到一份报告。日期取决于每个年级相应的报告周期。请参照本文档结尾处的关键 日期部分,获取关于您孩子收到报告的日期细节。在学期纸质日历或网站日历中也可以找到这一信息。 去年我们重新审查了报告系统,也听取了家长们的很多宝贵意见。现在我们很高兴地宣布我们的新报告版 本,希望对您来说这一新版本信息丰富、使用简单。报告范例附在文档结尾处。 和通常一样,您能在ENGAGE家长登录端获得孩子的报告。同时,这学期我们尝试让孩子带回家一份纸质 报告。如果您的孩子在上10-13年级,请在10月份期中孩子回家时查看孩子的报告。如果您的孩子在上7-9 年级,您在圣诞节孩子放假回家时就可以拿到报告了。我们将在1月份联系家长,听取您对新系统的评论。 所以,请那时候给我们一些反馈。
3.2 不同类型的报告 每年您的孩子都会收到以下3种类型的报告:
报告名字 等级报告 舍监/指导老师报告
学科报告
内
容
•每个学科的成就评分等级和学习态度评分等级 • 每个学科的成就评分等级和学习态度评分等级 • 孩子舍监和指导老师的评语 • 每个学科的成就评分等级和学习态度评分等级 • 孩子每位学科老师的评语和学习目标
3.3 开放参观日 每年您的孩子有两个开放参观日。这些活动为您与孩子老师见面讨论孩子的情况提供了很好的机会。您可 以通过ENGAGE 的家长端来预约,在开放日当天与孩子的每位老师进行5分钟的一对一见面。建议您带上 孩子的最新学习报告,以便您在和孩子老师谈话时手边有孩子的成绩单做参考。请参照下面的第5部分获取 开放日的日期和时间。
3.4 成绩单 正如上面所述,世界很多大学都要求学生成绩单。 我们的大学团队会向您的孩子提供一份他/她的成绩 单,里面将包含其从10年级以来的年终成绩,用来申请大学。 24
3.5 您作为家长的角色 研究表明,家长参与孩子的教育对于促进孩子学业成功至关重要。与孩子一起读取他/她的学习报告是一个 不错的方式。您可以借此机会祝贺孩子取得的成绩,支持孩子提高弱势领域,问问孩子的学习情况,哪些 部分容易,哪些部分困难,还有他们在学校最骄傲的事情等等。在您收到反映孩子成就的成绩单之前,孩 子就已经跟指导教师进行过谈话了。所以他们应该能跟您有意义地谈论他们的学习情况。 此外,如果您对孩子报告中的任何等级/评论有任何的担忧,请不要犹豫联系孩子的舍监或指导教师。
