Assessment criteria description
Assessment approach explanation
For each subject in the MYP, the development of students’ knowledge and skills is assessed using a set of rubrics called
‘Criteria’. Each subject has four Criteria (A, B, C, and D), which correspond to the broad learning goals for that subject. For
example, the four criteria for MYP Science are:
Criteria A: Knowing and understanding
Criteria B: Inquiring and designing
Criteria C: Processing and evaluating
Criteria D: Reflecting on the impacts of science
Every criteria has eight achievement levels (Level 1 to Level 8), with descriptors for each, to clarify expectations of skills &
knowledge at each level, and to help students monitor and reflect on their growth.
Over the course of the year, teachers provide students with a variety of assessment tasks, and are guided by these criteria to
make a professional and informed judgement about the students’ achievement level. Each criterion is assessed at least
twice in an academic year. For each assessment cycle, teachers arrive at an achievement level for each Criteria using a
“best fit” approach based on the students’ performance across the different assessment tasks.
The ‘best-fit’ achievement levels for the four criteria are added together to arrive at a total out of 32. Using the MYP grade
boundaries, this total score is converted to a final MYP Grade between 1 and 7, with 7 being the highest.
