Using Achievement Charts to Ensure Validity

 A rubric can help an evaluator eliminate their evaluator bias but eliminating all construct irrelevant factors.  

Reminder: When an assessment is valid, the construct (ability, skill, or knowledge) that it is designed to measure is the source of students’ score on the assessment.

This can be done using the Achievement Chart (available in all curriculum documents)

The benefits of using achievement charts:

  • It is a standard province-wide guide and is to be used by all teachers as a framework within which to assess and evaluate student achievement of the expectations in the particular subject or discipline.
  • It enables teachers to make consistent judgements about the quality of student learning based on clear performance standards and on a body of evidence collected over time.
  • It provides teachers with a foundation for developing clear and specific feedback for students and parents

#1 - Modify the descriptors



#2 - Add descriptions under the categories
