Note from School Trustee Gerri Gershon

TDSB Ward Forum Meeting

Please put January 27th on your calendars for our ward forum. At the last meeting the issue of student tests came up.

  • How are the EQOA tests developed and standards set?
  • What happens to the results of the tests?
  • Should I be worried if my child tests poorly or pleased if my child does well?
  • What are the other tests to determine how my child is doing in school?

We plan to have experts from the EQOA, a central Board co- coordinating principal in school improvement and an elementary and secondary teacher available to make a presentation and dialogue with our group.

It should be an immensely informative evening. Please plan to attend and invite a friend. More information will follow next week.
