Student Assessment that Reflects the Purpose of School
Channel: What is the Purpose of School?
Date: 2020-06-05

What is the purpose of school? How can schools assure their students are achieving all of the outcomes desired by their school community and articulated in their school mission statement? In this video, Professors Steven Stemler and Damian Bebell travel to the Foxcroft Academy high school in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine to learn more about their Mission Standard Portfolio. 

The Mission Standards portfolio is a simple and effective system to ensure that each and every Foxrcoft Academy graduate can demonstrate and personally apply each of five community/student standards: 

Clear and Effective Communicator, 
Creative and Practical Problem Solver, 
Self-Directed and Lifelong Learner, 
Responsible and Involved Citizen, and 
Integrative and Informed Thinker. 

Featuring interviews with school leadership Arnold Shorey and Jonathan Pratt, this video provides an introduction as to how one US high school is working to align their student assessment system with all aspects of their core values and school mission statement.
