What Are Benchmark Assessments?

Benchmark assessments are designed by educators in Anglophone North as a tool to assess student learning.

Benchmark assessents are used in Grades 5-8 and occur in December and June in Grade 5, 7, and 8. Grade 6 students are only assessed in December as they write a Provincial Assessment in June.
