Parents will find EQAO’s latest brochure: A Parent’s Guide to EQAO Tests a useful tool as preparations are underway in your child’s school for the EQAO assessments this May. As you know, the Education Quality and Accountability Office develops province-wide tests and administers them at key points in every student’s education, measuring students’ performance in reading, writing and mathematics against established curriculum expectations.
The goal of this brochure is to reach out to Parents by providing them with simple and clear information about Ontario’s Province-Wide Assessments of Reading, Writing and Mathematics for the Primary Division (Grades 1-3) and the Junior Division (Grades 4-6).
This brochure is available in 2 forms on our Web site (www.eqao.com) under the Parent Resources section:
A condensed version that can be downloaded in pdf: http://www.eqao.com/pdf_e/07/07P086e.pdf
A more detailed version providing Parents with Q&A that can be viewed online: http://www.eqao.com/Parents/FAQ.aspx?Lang=E&gr=036&Aud=Parents&App=Parents –
This version can also be downloaded in 19 other languages.
Three publicly funded Catholic schools,across Ontario have been selected to receive the brochures and distribute them to their parent communities with an EQAO survey enclosed.
