Doug Johnson Schools are pouring thousands of dollars into educational technologies. This workshop gives the practitioner the tools and skills needed to measure the ways technology is having a positive impact on both the instructional and administrative roles of the school. It's tough for students, teachers and administrators to give us what we'd like unless we can describe the end result and measure its quality. This session will give an overview of the difference between evaluation and assessment, look at authentic assessment tools used for a variety of purposes, and give the participant the chance to practice building a checklist and rubric. The presentation will include a bibliography of exemplary assessment sites.
Mapping is a crucial step in any curriculum integration, promoting better student achievement.
Instructional material for mapping and sample templates of the various mapping models will be provided. For the past 3 years, these librarians have had a very successful Poetry Coffeehouse evening at their high school. The presentation includes the actual timetable, PowerPoint presentation, video clips, copies of certificates, etc. The program could be adapted for the middle or elementary schools. Judith Robinson, SUNY Buffalo, Ruth Small, Syracuse University, Jennifer Branch, SUNY Albany Join this panel discussion of how current M.L.S. programs are adjusting to meet the requirements of the S.E.D. and the impact of new technologies.
