In the 2018/19 school year, the Ministry launched a K-9 Student Reporting Policy Pilot, informed by research on effective practices and developed following extensive engagement with parents and educators. This was created to support new approaches to reporting, which included a move from event-style report cards to more timely and flexible communication with parents; a replacement of letter grades with a strength-based four-point provincial proficiency scale and descriptive feedback; and greater emphasis on student reflection and self-assessment of the Core Competencies to increase student engagement and ownership.
