TNS Beaconhouse

Term 1 Assessment Report

2021-22
Prepared: January 12, 2022

Student Name: Syeda Aleen Fatima

Grade: Grade 9

Dear Parents,
An education at TNS Beaconhouse is about actively combining challenging and enriching experiences with
academic rigour and creative opportunities. We want our students to have the courage to push back the
boundaries of their experience and to explore the possibilities that are available to them. Whilst we are proud of
their academic results, there is so much more to the education we provide. lt is, therefore, important that parents
wholeheartedly support the ethos of the school.
Whether it is in the classroom, on the stage, whilst participating in an expedition, on the sports field or when
serving others, we want our students to experience the excitement of discovering they are capable of achieving far
more than they ever felt was possible. We have high expectations of our students and they, in turn, have high
expectations of themselves.
On this note, I would like to present the report card of this academic term based on best-fit approach. Let’s work
together to create an environment for true development.
Kind regards,
Head of School

Comments:
Aleen shows a considerable command over analysis, but needs to identify and analyse the stylsitic techniques
used in visual texts to secure a higher mark. For the internal monologue, she has given some very thoguhtful
reflections - but the response minimally balances these with events or observations from the setting. For the blog
post, she attempts to write with humor, but her position on the issue remains unclear and hence the opinion was
lost in the writing. Although she scored well in her summatives, she seems to have lacked the focus and effective
response construction on her Decemeber assessment. Language was a concern throughout herassessment,
especially in the final blog post - where she made simple punctuation, spelling, and grammatical mistakes. Please
refer to Assessprep for detailed feedback on the December assessment.

Comments:

Listening: The student was able to identify a few basic information. The student identified explicit facts with
basic conventions and connection.

Reading: The student was able to identify a few basic information. The student explicit facts with basic
conventions and connection.

Speaking: The student used a basic range of vocabulary and some grammar mistakes. The
pronounciation has some errors which made hinder the comprehension. The student was able to
communicate some of the relevant information.

Writing: The student used a very limited range of vocabulary with many errors in grammar structures
that often hinder the communication. The student presented some information which was partly-
recognizable.

Overall: the student needs to do the worksheets already on managebac in order to improve her
comprehension and writing skills. To get better in oral and listening I will recommande to watch tv
shows or cartoons in french to get familiar with the accent or daily podcast such as Coffee Break
french.

Comments:
Aleen shows a basic understanding of concepts and is able to outline and state her scientific knowledge. While she
can apply her understanding on familiar situations, she is unable to do so in unfamiliar situations. She can
formulate a testable hypothesis, can state variables and design an experiment to test her hypothesis. However she
is unable to clearly define how variables can be manipulated to achieve different outcomes. Aleen, can sometimes
accurately interpret and explain numerical and visual data but is unable to present it. Moreover, she can explain the
implications of scientific knowledge on real world problems and can apply that knowledge on solving specific
issues relating to certain factors. Overall, Aleen is a well behaved and knowledgeable student. With a little more
effort, she can attain a higher level.

Comments:
Aleen needs a lot of improvement in Physics.

Aleen failed in explaining and applying scientific knowledge and understanding to solve problems in Criterion A. For
B, they did not do well to explain how to setup an investigation to find correlation between force and extension(that
was to be tested by a scientific investigation, formulating a testable hypothesis and explaining it using scientific
reasoning). In Criterion C, they struggled to interpret data and explain results using scientific reasoning. Lastly, did
well in explaining the implications of solar powered vehicles but could have been better.

She has to work really hard. Her current scientific knowledge really needs to be worked upon. Please put more time
and effort into physics. All the best.

Comments:
Aleen Fatima selected appropriate mathematics when solving more complex problems in familiar situations. She
also selected and applied mathematical problem-solving techniques to discover complex patterns, describe
patterns as general rules consistent with correct findings along with the validity of these general rules. She used
some appropriate mathematical language; identified relevant elements and applied, with some success, adequate
mathematical strategies to model the real-life situation.

Overall performance in email writing was encouraging. You were able to write with fluency but could not express

read more and take full advantage of those three prompts given for the email. Be vigilant about the word limit.

Assessment Explanation
Student assessment in the IBO grading system

The students are not judged against the work of other students, but against assessment criteria which the teacher
show and explain to the students. This helps the student to keep an eye on her/his progress and to see where she/
he needs to improve.

Grading Process

1. There are a set of objectives for each subject which are matched to the assessment criteria.
2. Every subject has four different criteria with numerical level bands of 1-8.
3. Grading is based on the level of achievements for each criterion.
4. The final achievement level for all the different criteria is based on the year’s assessed summative work by the
teacher’s professional judgment and the end-of-term assessment result.
5. After having worked out the achievement levels for the different criteria for each subject, the achievement levels
are added up. The teacher then applies the grade boundaries, shared in the assessment policy to determine the
final grade for each specific subject.

Report Key

• End of term Assessment

◦ The percentage marks obtained by the learner in the end-of-term assessment. Parts of all four criteria for the
subject are assessed in the final assessment. The result only mentions a cumulative percentage.
• Assessment class average
◦ The percentage average marks for the class in the end-of-term assessment.

Grade Descriptors

MYP is a holistic levels based marking system. Student achievement is gauged against a set criterion.

At times, less than four criteria of a subject are assessed. This results in a INC instead of a final level. It means the
criteria are individually assessed. The result for each criterion can be viewed.
