Graduation Assessments Information:

Literacy and Numeracy Assessments are a provincial assessment and a graduation requirement for students. The Literacy and Numeracy Assessments are not tied to Math and English classes specifically, rather, they evaluate mastery of a student’s literacy and numeracy skills over the course of their education.

Results will be reported using a four-category proficiency scale and will appear on a student’s transcript as a number, representing one of the four categories:

1 = emerging 3 = proficient
2 = developing 4 = extending

 

Results will appear in MyEdBC in the Assessment tab and students’ best outcome will be recorded on their final transcript. Universities and employers may be interested in a student’s assessment results, as evidence of their achievement in numeracy and literacy.

Students can write each assessment up to three times. Students wishing to rewrite any of their assessments need to request this via their school counsellor.

For students with an Individual Education Plan (IEP), the inclusive education team will work with to ensure that accommodations are supported during the assessment.

Numeracy Assessment 10 Information

Students are required to write the Numeracy Assessment in their grade 10 year, as a graduation requirement. The assessment is based on math concepts learned in multiple subjects from K-10 with an emphasis on K-9.

The Numeracy Assessment 10 is delivered online in three sections:

  1. Common section: Students answer 24 questions centered on four different tasks (situations) completed online
  1. Student-choice section: Students choose two of four available questions and complete two written-response questions on paper. These questions are based on tasks the student will have completed earlier in the common section. Students present detailed solutions to a problem using all the numeracy processes and support their thinking with explanations and assumptions.
  2. Self-reflection section: These questions ask students to reflect on their experience after they have completed the previous sections. The process of reflection is part of their learning.

More information and sample assessments (both online and print versions) are available on the BC Ministry of Education website: https://curriculum.gov.bc.ca/assessment/grade-10-numeracy-assessment

Literacy Assessment 10 and 12 Information

The Literacy Assessments are based on learning across various subject areas. The assessments are electronic and consist of selected response and written questions focused on analyzing texts, communicating understanding and marking personal connections.

The Literacy Assessment 10 contains three parts:

  1. Part A: Students read several different types of texts, e.g. blogs, infographics, newspaper or magazine articles, social media feeds, and stories. Students demonstrate that they can analyze and make meaning from the texts by answering a series of selected-response questions. They then provide written responses to communicate their understanding.
  1. Part B: Students choose one of two options. After choosing one option, students read a new set of texts. Students demonstrate that they can analyze and make meaning of the texts by answering selected-response questions. They then provide written responses to communicate personal connections.
  1. Self-reflection: These questions ask students to reflect on their experience with the assessment. This component is not marked.

The Literacy Assessment 10 is graded using a rubric; however, students’ final transcripts will show ‘requirements met’ rather than the proficiency score. Students will receive additional information on their assessment results on the Student Transcripts Service.

The Literacy Assessment 12 contains two parts:

  1. Part A: multiple readings, selected responses, and a required written response
  2. Part B: multiple readings, selected responses, and a student choice of written response form.

The Literacy Assessment 12 is graded using a rubric and a proficiency score (out of 4) will appear on the student’s transcript.
