Students are expected to demonstrate academic honesty and integrity by relying on their own efforts and by doing their own work to the best of their ability in their face-to-face, blended, and online learning courses.

It is the student’s responsibility to provide evidence of their achievement of overall expectations.  In the case of academic dishonesty, including cheating and plagiarism, the student has missed out on learning and evidence of a student’s achievement of overall expectations is considered to be missing.

If academic dishonesty including the unpermitted use of AI is suspected, the focus should be on gathering evidence of learning by having learning conversations with students to gauge their understanding of key concepts. 

Please review the LKDSB Assessment, Evaluation and Reporting Expected Practices Grades 9 -12: Supporting Learning document (pages 35-37) for more guidance on academic integrity.
