The DES document “Assessment and Reporting on Students’ Learning – Junior Cycle 2021” is attached (Click “View Pdf” below or see post from 11/3/21). As was the case for Junior Cycle 2020 there will be two elements to students' certification for Junior Cycle 2021 1) A State Certificate of Completion of the Junior Cycle from the Department of Education. 2) A School Report - detailing the learning achievements of each student during their Junior Cycle Programme - the assessment of students' learning will be provided by their teachers and will reflect learning over the course of the Junior Cycle programme. For the school report each subject teacher will determine a grade based on a combination of the following. (a) A percentage awarded for the November exams (b) A percentage from elements of coursework/project work/best work etc (c) A percentage from one or two class tests/assessments that may take place in class between now and the end of the school year. From a student's perspective they do not need to change their approach or do anything new. They should simply continue to engage positively and to the best of their ability with their learning. As always, please make contact through the school office if we can do anything to support your son/daughter. https://d50adfe6df36c7bceba2-914c455a73d068384f0e16181ce1b7cf.ssl.cf3.rackcdn.com/pdf/9939_20210416092328.pdf
