Does province-wide testing interfere with teaching Grade 9 mathematics?
EQAO’s assessments are based directly on the provincial curriculum. They reinforce the knowledge and skills that students have been taught. Many teachers use the assessments as a review prior to final examinations or mark some components as part of a student’s mark. As well, the assessment results give students, teachers and parents feedback on how well students are doing. In this way, assessments aid teaching.
