1. Monday Meeting Schedule
Monday April 18Was dedicated to individual work time to start on the course description. A template Was shared. The purpose of the course handout is to have something at the start of the year to hand out to students and to parents. It should only be one double sided page. It is not all the lessons. It is an overview of the course or the class for the year. Due, May 23 to share for the next Subject/Department meeting.
Prepare the course descriptor for the course you are teaching now, as if you will be teaching it next year. If there are new updates, new text books, include that so whoever is teaching it next year knows what to do.

Forecast Grade
What is a Forecast Grade?
A forecast grade is the grade a teacher expects a student to achieve for the syllabus. It must be a realistic prediction of what the student is expected to achieve in the examination. It is not intended to be the teacher's assessment of the quality of the student's work during the course, or of the effort that the student has made. In the case of an assessment that the student has already partly completed (e.g. a Cambridge International A Level subject in which the student has already achieved a contributory Cambridge International AS Level result), the forecast grade should relate to the overall qualification including the part already assessed.
Why should I submit Forecast Grades?
We use forecast grade information:
- for the purpose of grading, as a check by comparing actual grades with Forecast Grades
- in instances where a student's script may have been lost in the post
- in cases of special consideration.
Schools are advised that it could disadvantage students if forecast grade information is not supplied when the information is available.
