BC Performance Standards
The BC performance standards have been developed
for voluntary use in BC schools. They describe the professional judgments
of a significant number of BC educators about standards and expectations
for the following key areas of learning: reading, writing, numeracy
and social responsibility.
The standards focus exclusively on performance assessment. In performance
assessment, students are asked to apply the skills and concepts
they have learned to complete complex, realistic tasks. This type
of assessment supports a criterion-referenced approach to evaluation
and enables teachers, students, and parents to compare student performance
to provincial standards.
