Authentic Assessment Policies in Saskatchewan: A Document Analysis

Building off of an initial project, wherein school superintendents, the STF and the Ministry were interviewed about provincial and division-specific assessment policies, this project will consists of a document-analysis of twenty-seven division-specific assessment policies in Saskatchewan. This study aims to better understand the current state of assessment policy in the province through the lens of division-specific assessment policies. The questions that guide this project are: what is the state of division-specific assessment policies in Saskatchewan? What areas of overlap can be identified regarding content, theoretical grounding, and (inter)provincial policies?
