Passion Project Using assessment criteria Assessment for the MYP community is criterion-related, based on four equally weighted assessment criteria. Criterion A Investigating Maximum 8 Criterion B Planning Maximum 8 Criterion C Taking action Maximum 8 Criterion D Reflecting Maximum 8 Table 14 MYP community s must address all strands of all four assessment criteria. In the MYP, objectives correspond to assessment criteria. Each criterion has nine possible levels of achievement (0 8), divided into four bands that generally represent limited (1 2), adequate (3 4), substantial (5 6) and excellent (7 8) performance. Each band has its own unique descriptor, which teachers use to make best-fit judgments about students progress and achievement. This guide provides the required assessment criteria for the community developed in years 3 or 4 of the MYP. In response to national or local requirements, schools may add criteria and use additional models of assessment. Schools must use the appropriate assessment criteria as published in this guide to report students final achievement in the programme. Coordinators and supervisors clarify the expectations for the MYP community with direct reference to the assessment criteria. Task-specific clarifications should clearly explain what students are expected to know and do, in forms such as: a face-to-face or virtual discussion an information day detailed advice pages on the school intranet.
