Levels of Student Performance
The BC performance standards, in most cases, describe student achievement in relation to prescribed learning outcomes in March-April of the school year and illustrate the following four levels of student performance:
Emerging – not yet within expectations
- the learning does not meet grade-level expectations
- there is little evidence of progress toward the relevant prescribed learning outcomes
- the situation needs intervention
Developing – meets expectations – minimal level
- the learning may be inconsistent, but meets grade-level expectations at a minimal level
- there is evidence of progress toward relevant prescribed learning outcomes
- the student needs support in some areas
Acquired – fully meets expectations
- the learning meets grade-level expectations
- there is evidence that relevant prescribed learning outcomes have been accomplished
Accomplished – exceeds expectations
- the learning exceeds grade-level expectations in significant ways
- the student may benefit from extra challenges
