Emphasis will be placed on the colleague support structure - teachers sharing ideas with and getting help from other teachers. Involving students in assessment is often the key to engaging them in learning. This workshop will continue to follow Barbara and Scott as they use assessment to encourage their students to improve their performance. Providing opportunities for students to assess their own work and that of their peers will be the focus of this workshop. Implementing Assessment Reform Changing old ways is not easy.
Communication is the first step toward encouraging support for new assessment strategies.
This workshop will focus on the importance of collaboration among teachers, administrators, and especially parents, when implementing assessment reform in a school or district.
