EQAO发布安省各学校评估结果，公立学校分数下降，安省保守党政府加强学生基础理论教育迫在眉睫！
2019年9月25日，EQAO发布安省各学校和校务委员会的2018–2019评估和背景数据报告。这些信息提供了关于学生学习态度和学习习惯的洞察，以及学生在学习的关键阶段是否达到了阅读，写作和数学方面的课程期望。EQAO 的测试旨在帮助教育工作者可以通过考试结果，来审查教学策略以帮助所有学生学习过程中能够因材施教。
影响学生成功的因素很多，EQAO数据仅代表一小部分信息。为了全面了解学生的学习趋势，必须将EQAO结果与本地信息相结合，其中包括：
· 人口统计数据;
· 学生出勤记录；
· 教育者对学生的观察；
· 学校或学校董事会的特殊情况；
· 以及学生的行为和学习态度数据（例如通过EQAO的学生测试表现结果）
EQAO的网站上提供了每所学校和学校董事会的评估，教学背景和教学态度的数据，EQAO作为一个政府拥有的教学监督机构，它的任务就是促进安大略省教育体系的问责制，保证教学质量。
针对三年级和六年级学生的2018-19年EQAO数学结果显示，近年来，多伦多（Toronto），皮尔（Peel），达勒姆（Durham）和荷顿（Halton）的公立学校董事会的分数呈下降趋势或保持稳定。同时，约克地区教育委员会的3年级成绩有所下降，但6年级却有所上升。所有这些委员会的得分均高于全省平均水平，但安省的平均水平呈下降趋势。
安省3年级学生达到或超过省级标准的学生比例为58%，低于2015-16年度的63％。同时，有48％的学生达到了6年级标准，从50％下降到目前的水平。
安省教育厅正试图通过为1至12年级开设新的数学课程来扭转这种下降趋势，从发现数学转变为回归基础的方法。该课程将在四年内逐步实施，并将于春季发布基础课程，并于明年秋天实施。
教育部长史蒂芬·莱切（Stephen Lecce）发言人亚历山德拉·阿达莫（Alexandra Adamo）表示：“重要的是，学生要具备在学校，工作和生活中取得成功所需的数学和读写能力，这很重要。” “这就是为什么我们的政府通过恢复算术基础知识来巩固数学基础。”
安省保守党政府已承诺在2019-20财年投入5500万加元，以支持提高学生的数学成绩，包括为62所小学学生提供额外的数学支持。
要闻速览
1. 在考虑学校或学校董事会的EQAO结果时要问的一些问题包括：
· 在过去的五年中，学生对阅读，写作和数学的态度有什么趋势？
· 学校与学生态度数据与成就结果如何比较？
· 怎样做才能促进学生在阅读，写作和数学方面的积极态度的增长？
· 在学校或学校董事会中是否有任何特殊情况导致这些趋势？
· 有哪些策略和资源可以明确支持缩小学生的学习机会差距？
2. EQAO的省级报告提供了人口统计信息，来自问卷的定性数据以及来自于3年级和6年级学生撰写的阅读，写作和数学初级和初中评估；9年级数学和安大略省中学扫盲测试。
3. 所有EQAO评估均由安大略省教育工作者制定，以确保与《安大略省课程》保持一致。教育工作者还支持EQAO评估的管理和评分。
4. EQAO是安大略省政府的独立机构，致力于促进该省的公立教育体系的问责制，公平性和持续改进。

EQAO releases 2018–2019 assessment and contextual data for each school and school board in Ontario
TORONTO, September 25, 2019—As more data on education in Ontario become available, there are additional opportunities for evidence-based discussions about supporting student learning across the province.
Today, the Education Quality and Accountability Office (EQAO) published the school- and board-level results of the assessments administered during the 2018–2019 school year. This information offers insights into students’ attitudes and habits toward learning and whether students are meeting curriculum expectations in reading, writing and math at key stages of their education. Educators can use this evidence as they review strategies to help all students in their learning journey.
Many factors affect student success, and EQAO data represent just one piece of information. To build a full understanding of trends in student learning, it’s important to consider EQAO results alongside information from local sources, including
demographic data;
attendance records;
educators’ observations;
unique circumstances to the school or school board and
students’ behavioural and attitudinal data, such as the answers provided through EQAO’s Student Questionnaires.
Assessment, contextual and attitudinal data for each school and school board are available on EQAO’s website, as the agency’s mandate is to contribute to the accountability of Ontario’s education system.
QUICK FACTS
Some questions to ask when considering a school’s or school board’s EQAO results include the following:
What has the trend been in student attitudes toward reading, writing and mathematics over the past five years?
How does attitudinal data compare to achievement results?
What can be done to promote growth in students’ positive attitudes in reading, writing and math?
Are there any unique circumstances at the school or school board that contribute to these trends?
What are the strategies and resources explicitly supporting the closing of opportunity gaps for students?
EQAO’s provincial reports provide demographic information, qualitative data from questionnaires and achievement results from the
primary- and junior-division Assessments of Reading, Writing and Mathematics, written by students in Grades 3 and 6;
Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics and Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test.
All EQAO assessments are developed by Ontario educators to ensure alignment with The Ontario Curriculum. Educators also support the administration and scoring of EQAO assessments.
EQAO is an independent agency of the Government of Ontario that contributes to the accountability, equity and continuous improvement of the province’s publicly funded education system.
Declining math scores at Toronto's public schools just don't add up. Following the release Wednesday of provincial standardized test scores, the Toronto District School Board is at a loss to explain why math results have, for the most part, dropped over four years.
It's a trend happening in other jurisdictions - and no one has really found the fix.
"It is a challenge to understand why we can't seem to turn this trend around," said TDSB Director John Malloy, after results were published by the Education Quality and Accountability Office, which assesses reading, writing and math skills in Grades 3, 6, 9 and 10. "The challenge, I believe, we are all facing in the (TDSB) and across the province, is that we're trying to figure that question out."
EQAO math results for 2018-19, for third and sixth graders, show public school boards in Toronto, Peel, Durham and Halton have in recent years seen their scores drop or stay flat. Meanwhile, the York Region board experienced a dip in Grade 3 results, but an uptick in Grade 6. However, all those boards scored above the provincial average, which has been trending downward.
The percentage of students across Ontario performing at or above the provincial standard in Grade 3 is 58, down from 63 per cent in 2015-16. Meanwhile, 48 per cent are meeting Grade 6 standards, having slipped from 50 per cent.
The Ministry of Education is trying to reverse that trend with a new math curriculum for Grades 1 to 12, moving away from discovery math to a back-to-basics approach. It will be phased-in over four years, with the elementary curriculum to be released in the spring and implemented next fall.
"It is important that students graduate with the math and literacy skills they need to succeed in school, work and life," said Alexandra Adamo, spokesperson for Education Minister Stephen Lecce. "That is why our government is strengthening the foundation in mathematics by getting back to basics in numeracy."
The province's new math strategy has committed $55 million for 2019-20 to support improved student math performance, including funding for additional support in mathematics to 62 elementary school.
