Durham Catholic families seeking help understanding provincial school assessments can register for three free online presentations this month. The first, about reading, is scheduled for Tuesday, November 10 at 6 p.m.
The Durham Catholic District School Board shared the Education Quality and Accountability Office invitation on November 9. The sessions are for parents and guardians, rather than student testing appointments.
Choose a session by subject
- Reading — November 10, 6 p.m.: EQAO staff will discuss passages and questions used to assess reading in the primary and junior divisions and on the Ontario Secondary School Literacy Test.
- Writing — November 25, 6 p.m.: The presentation will examine writing prompts and questions from those elementary assessments and the secondary-school literacy test.
- Grade 9 mathematics — November 26, 6 p.m.: Staff will explain examples from the Grade 9 Assessment of Mathematics and how the questions relate to learning in class.
Each presentation is intended to help families understand what the assessments measure and find resources to support learning at home.
Register through the board’s notice
The official invitation contains a separate Zoom registration link for each webinar. Select the session you want and check the registration confirmation for access instructions and the displayed time zone. The board’s article lists 6 p.m. for all three events but does not state a time-zone label or a registration deadline.
This invitation does not announce new testing requirements or a change to students’ assessment dates. It is separate from the board’s November 18 parenting sessions.
