Junior School Review Process


                     As part of the progress review process in the Junior school, students
                     who are not meeting school expectations (standards), they along with
                     their  parents,  meet  with  the  Class  Level  Leader  and  Homeroom
                     teacher  in  Primary,  and  in  the  Middle  School,  with  the  MYP
                     Coordinator and the Section Head. A detailed discussion, based on
                     understanding the “next steps” in learning the subject, is followed by
                     an  action  plan  for  intervention  by  setting  targets  and  providing
                     additional  support  and  enrichment  where  necessary.  Progress
                     towards targets set is evaluated regularly until the student is achieving
                     at  or  above  expected  levels.  In  cases  where  there  are  learning
                     challenges, the Student Care team is also included in the review.

                 e)  Home Learning


                     It is not the school’s default position to set regular homework, but
                     rather to consider this as an option which can provide opportunities to
                     extend the home-school partnership. The purpose of homework  is  to

                     promote  a  love  of  learning  which  encourages  positive,  meaningful
                     learning experiences between students, parents and teachers.


                     Questions we ask when providing opportunities for “homework”:


                     ●   How does it help students to think deeply about questions that
                        matter?


                     ●   Does  it  support  NMAJS’s  philosophy  of  learning  (constructing
                        meaning through inquiry)?


                     ●   Will it provide a relevant, enriching experience that allows families
                        to  interact,  and  to  better  understand  and  support  learning
                        introduced at school?


                     ●   Can  classroom  learning  continue  uninterrupted  if  homework
                        opportunities are not completed (is it optional)?
