Parent's Guide to Growing Success (from Peel)

I have had many questions about assessment and what the Growing Success Policy means from parents during parent's night. Seeing as interim reports are coming out around now, I thought I'd post a useful Parent's Guide, put together by the Peel Board:

Peel’s Growing Success  

Parent Monograph Series: 

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

The seven fundamental principles are reiterated on this site, as well as a clear explanation of the context of the policy and definition of the document.

This FAQ page is written clearly and consistently for a parent to understand the changes in assessment since they were a student and it offers the parent an insight into what their child is experiencing in terms of current assessment, as well as the purpose behind that assessment.
