Technology software for planning and mark management is nothing new. What is new is a web-based planning and assessment tool that promotes a balanced approach to assessment.

 

Assessment is an ongoing and regular part of the teaching process. Its primary purpose is to help teachers and students set goals for future learning.

 

Today’s educators require a simple means for recording the classroom assessment information that is critical to helping every child be successful. They will find the help they require in GradePARtner – a state-of-the-art web-based tool for assessment planning and mark management.

 

Developed and supported by assessment experts with vast school and district experience, GradePARtner is a system-wide solution for both elementary and secondary schools.

 

Here are some of the features that set GradePARtner apart.

Collaboration and Consistency

Homework assignments. Learning logs. Questions. Quizzes. Essays.
Mid-term tests. Portfolios of student work.



Teachers use a variety of assessment strategies and tools to determine what students have learned. This information helps in planning what to teach next, in adjusting strategies and in providing feedback to students and parents.



GradePARtner supports a collaborative approach to assessment, evaluation and reporting. This allows school districts and teachers to achieve consistency in evaluation from teacher to teacher, from school to school and across a district.

Experienced and Responsive Team.

Practical workshops. Teacher-friendly publications. Responsive product development. Numerous assessment projects in Canada and the U.S.



These are just some of the experiences of the Eduwave team. GradePARtner was developed from sound assessment philosophy and has been refined in response to feedback from teachers, school administrators, and district supervisors.



Based on the concepts of planning for learning and "designing down", GradePARtner enables teachers to plan ahead in order to gather a critical body of evidence for evaluation and reporting.
