Pursuing Internationalism: At What Cost?

Students determine the impact of internationalism to decide the extent to which Canadians should provide monetary support to address international issues. They then provide specific reasons for their position.

Focuses for Assessment: How the Outcomes Are Grouped

The Summative Assessment Task – Pursuing Internationalism: At What Cost?  and accompanying rubric  address the following focuses for assessment and corresponding specific outcomes from the Knowledge and Employability Social Studies 20-4 Program of Studies. Skills and Processes outcomes are clustered with Values and Attitudes outcomes and Knowledge and Understanding outcomes to provide robust opportunities for student learning. The Focuses for Assessment articulate what students will do to provide evidence of learning.  Formative assessment opportunities within the suggested activities provide ways to support students in reaching the learning goals.
