It must first be said that student evaluation assumes an environment based on gentleness, genuineness, and confidence. Creative leadership skills and self-confidence must be key elements.

The starting point for the creation of the individualized curriculum is derived from the student profile that indicates their interests, talents, and abilities, and emphasizes a guided self-discovery approach.

Student profiles are created from the following:

• Academic – written, oral and visual assessments
• Learning style identification
• Social skills
• Physical fitness
• Performing arts – optional
• Portfolio development

A software tool is used in curriculum development and evaluation to help provide a database for all parties. It is used specifically to:

• Support the personalization of strategies
• Identify outcomes from assigned activities
• Chart progress and competency
• Support accountability
• Provide a database of resources and activities
• Record performance and growth
• Identify objectives and activities according to theme, category, level of competency, learning style and resources
• Provide rubrics
• Accessible for students, staff and parents
