From the BCTF:
Over the summer, the Ministry of Education and Childcare have finalized their resources to help support the implementation of the new K–12 Reporting Policy. These resources can all be found under the ‘reporting’ tab on the Ministry’s Curriculum website: https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/reporting/information-for-educators-and-school-leaders
Their final resource, the K–12 Student Reporting Policy – Educator Summary Guide, was recently released. This document was requested by the Federation to provide a concise summary of the expectations in the reporting policy and will hopefully help members to understand the Ministry’s expectations around reporting which sometime differ from those of school districts and administration.
Other resources include:
- a 40 minute video presentation featuring Ministry staff
- a webinar series produced by Ministry staff and educators, including BCTF members
- the K–12 Student Reporting Policy: Communicating Student Learning Guidelines
- Educator Informational Sheets: Unpacking the Proficiency Scale and Criteria and Considerations for Written Reports
- K–12 Student Reporting Information for Parents and Caregivers
The K–12 Reporting Policy is supported by the following updated Ministerial Orders:
- Learning Update Order (which replaces the previous Student Reporting Order)
- Provincial Letter Grades Order (updated July 1)
- Permanent Student Record Order (updated July 1)
