With the class average consistently coming in at 58%, you don’t have to be any type of wizard to figure out that the status quo might not be enough to cut it.
We live in an academic culture of accountability, where we are tested, then tested, then tested again to reference ourselves against thresholds identified by the ministry as being the “ideal” place for most students to be in any given area. For education, that’s most often associated with the Level 3 notch, and it applies universally to all subjects at the Grade 8 level. Level 3, of course, corresponds with the 70-79% range, and it’s the goal to bring as many students as possible to that place on the assessment continuum.
