EQAO Assessments: The Power of Good Information Every year, Ontario students in Grades 3, 6, 9 and 10 write province-wide tests. These assessments provide an objective indication of how well students are developing the reading, writing and math skills defined in the Ontario Curriculum. Since results are available for every student, provincial test data have become a key ingredient in helping schools, school boards and the province identify students’ strengths and target areas where attention and resources are needed. Parents are given an indication of how well their child is learning in relation to the provincial standard. This presentation delivered by a principal from EQAO’s School Support and Outreach team will give parents an opportunity to gain an understanding of the EQAO assessments. The presentation includes lots of information about the assessments and what parents can do to support their children. It also dispels some of the myths about EQAO. One of the activities includes looking at previous years' assessment booklets, looking at how a writing item is scored, and doing a multiple choice question.
