Background
Student Learning Assessment Update
The Student Learning Assessments (SLAs) are beginning of the year “check in” or formative digitally- based provincial assessment tools that Alberta is developing to enable parents to learn about and teachers to identify student strengths and areas of growth at the start of the school year. The SLAs are digitally-based and allow students to show their learning in ways that are not possible with paper-based tests like the Provincial Achievement Tests (PATs). As such, the SLAs are a more inclusive assessment tool.
Purposes of the SLAs
The SLAs have three purposes:
- to improve student learning (primary purpose)
- to enhance instruction for students
- to assure Albertans the education system is meeting the needs of students and achieves the outcomes of the Ministerial Order on Student Learning.
The SLAs will support student learning while more effectively assessing literacy, numeracy, and competencies such as critical thinking, problem solving, and the ability to apply knowledge to different scenarios. Over the coming year, Alberta Education will continue to work with stakeholders to determine the best approach with which to assure Albertans the education system is meeting the needs of students and achieving outcomes.
