Progress Monitoring

Socrates Preparatory School embraces a personalized and authentic ‘whole child’ approach to learning and assessment. Our philosophy is to empower students to reflect on their own learning and growing experiences. Students are mentored to use failures, challenges, successes, and personal goals to guide the path to self-improvement. Socrates employs a spectrum of methods to guide student assessment. These methods fall within the following two categories: formative (ongoing) such as class discussion, observations, quizzes, and summative (cumulative and/or standardized) such as quarterly projects, end of unit tests, reflective portfolios. The following assessments fall within these categories: Discussion, Anecdotal, Projects, Observations, Interviews, Tests, Quizzes, and Reflective Portfolios, MAP Growth test, ACT, SAT, SAT Subject, PSAT, PERT.
