Evaluations

Students

Montessori students do not receive letter or number grades. Anecdotal and portfolio reports will be made available to parents to keep them informed of their child's progress. Montessori record-keeping is extensive and ensures that guides and students are responsible for knowledge of individual progress.

As an accredited independent school within Alberta Learning, MMEC will evaluate students in accordance with the Alberta Learning Statement on Evaluation. Students will participate in Grade Three and Grade Six Provincial Achievement Examinations as determined by provincial guidelines.

Guides

Each guide will develop a Professional Growth Plan in accordance with provincial guidelines and school policy. Montessori guides and assistants will be evaluated by the principal.

Program

The company and Board of Directors will determine evaluation of the programs. Under the guidance of Alberta Education, satisfaction surveys of parents, students and staff will be part of this evaluation. Where appropriate, input may be requested from outside experts in the Montessori approach.

Montessori Accreditation will also serve as an indicator of program integrity. Future goals for the program will be established as a result of the program evaluation process, and will become part of the School Improvement Plan.
