Evaluation of Learning
The Policy on the Evaluation of Learning adopted by the Ministère in 2003 should be applied to homeschooled
students.
With the education reform, evaluation methods will be adapted to student progress in building knowledge and
developing competencies, as well as to the teaching methods used.
The evaluation should be conducted by a teacher who works with students of the same age as the student being
evaluated. Evaluators should also use a variety of methods (interviews, portfolios, tests, etc.) that are flexible and
adapted to home schooling, and always strive to ensure, as far as possible, that the child does not feel threatened
by the exercise.
Collaboration between the school board and the parents is absolutely essential, especially in the areas of evaluation
and teaching methods used. Where the school board notes learning problems in home-schooled students, it is
responsible for suggesting methods of intervention based on their needs and abilities
