Student Assessment
- Significance of global change for Canada. Students can be evaluated on their ability to relate global change to Canada. They can, for example, assess the impact of global change and the global economy on the local resource base. They can, to the extent their area depends on natural resources, relate activities on a local scale with similar resource economies across the country. Assessment should focus on how well they are able to display the significance of global change to Canada.
- Student assessment can focus on how well they are able to display an understanding of the effect of Canada's resource-based economy on global change.
- How well did tudents assess the impact of local economic activity on global environmental and economic problems by taking an inventory of local environmental problems and by developing a sense of historical changes locally?
- Were they able to compare local and regional environmental and economic degradation and improvement activities with other ecosystems of Canada and the world?
- Canada is a steward of vast natural resources. How well did students investigate the many ecosystems and natural resources within Canada's boundaries? Did they display an understanding of the value of Canada's natural resources to the world and to Canadians?
- Were students able to assess and create reports and presentations about Canada's contribution to global environmental and economic problems, and our opportunity to act as a model for others? Through teaching others, preparing presentations and through discussion and debate, were students able to assess critically Canada's role as a steward of vast natural resources and as a potential agent for environmental and economic improvement worldwide? Assessment should focus on how well students were able to perform these tasks and display their knowledge.
