Alberta students in Kindergarten, grades 1-3, 6,9, and 12 have mandatory assessments that are administered at varying times throughout the year, depending upon the grade. GPPSD uses the data to support student programming, planning and decision making at both the system and school levels.
Early Years Assessments
Alberta Education has mandated screeners (assessments) for students in kindergarten to grade 3. Divisions across the province will administer a variety of screeners, depending upon the grade at scheduled times throughout the year. Universal screeners (assessments) measure a student’s proficiency with foundation skills in both literacy and numeracy skills.
See more information in our What are Univeral Screeners for Kindergarten to Grade 3? document.
