Student evaluation is an important part of teaching as it allows the teacher to report the successes and challenges of the student and the parent. Evaluation also provides valuable feedback about how a student learns best. It is important that teachers use a variety of evaluation strategies to evaluate student progress. Additional information on evaluation of student achievement can be found in the Saskatchewan Education documents Student Evaluation: A Teacher Handbook, 1991 and Curriculum Evaluation in Saskatchewan, 1991.
It is important that the teacher discuss the evaluation strategies to be used in the course, when the evaluation can be expected to occur and the weighting of each evaluation strategy and how it relates to the overall student evaluation. The weighting of the evaluation should be determined in relation to the amount of time spent and emphasis placed on each area of the course as suggested in the curriculum guide.
The Forestry Studies 20, 30 curriculum provides many opportunities for teachers
to use a variety of instructional and evaluation strategies. Evaluation instruments
used in the teaching of this course are included the Practical and Applied Arts
Handbook. Sample copies of overall evaluation for the course, evaluation for
general student skills and work study are included for teachers to adapt and
use.
Here is a sample evaluation scheme:
Tests (written) 20%
Project work 15%
Homework and Assignments 10%
Classroom Presentations 5%
Work Study 25%
Final Examination 25%
Regular program evaluation could include a survey involving parents, students
and employers to determine program effectiveness and needs for change, if any.
Information specific to program evaluation is found in Saskatchewan Education's
School-Based Program Evaluation Resource Book (1989) and the Practical and Applied
Arts Handbook.

Arts Handbook (Saskatchewan Education) or Student Evaluation: A Teacher Handbook
