Evidence Packs for IB PYP: Assessment the PYP way. No marks anywhere.
Evidence Packs gives PYP teachers ready-to-use assessment for a task, describing what learning looks like in your school's own level words, never a score. Anchor a pack to a Unit of Inquiry or a subject, choose prior knowledge, ongoing or end-of-unit evidence, and every open question offers children three ways to record.
Success criteria, observation look-fors, reflection prompts and single-point rubrics, built around one task.
Evidence Packs, in practice.
Anchored to your unit, with a purpose.
Start from a Unit of Inquiry or a stand-alone subject, then say what the pack is for: prior knowledge, ongoing, or the end of the unit.
UOI-anchored · Prior knowledge, ongoing or end of unitEvidence, in your own words.
Success criteria, look-fors and single-point rubrics describe what learning looks like, never what it scores, using the level words your school already uses. A “Rubric: your levels” page sets them out when the pack needs one.
