Four-point Provincial Proficiency Scale

Teachers have the ability to assess students using a proficiency scale or a numerical number. The Ministry of Education  is implementing the four-point provincial scale used (in K-9) to communicate student progress  in all areas of learning. The four points on the scale include Emerging, Developing, Proficient and Extending. Teacher’s use the four-point provincial proficiency scale and descriptive, strength-based feedback to communicate progress in all areas of learning.

• Emerging – the student demonstrates an initial understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning.
• Developing – the student demonstrates a partial understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning.
• Proficient – the student demonstrates a complete understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning.
• Extending – the student demonstrates a sophisticated understanding of the concepts and competencies relevant to the expected learning.
