We've committed to changing our approach to instruction, and by default, we' ve committed to considering new ways to manage feedback and assessment. Feedback can be unintentional, informal, or formal in nature. Students and teachers set quality criteria for both products and processes. They work together to assess individual and group development toward learning standards. Assessment at both levels strengthens interdependence and individual accountability.
Students reflect on performances and upon their work toward meeting the learning standards.
Varieties of assessment tools are used by teachers and students throughout the experiential learning cycle to monitor progress toward learning standards. Evidence of student growth collected by teachers is used to connect one problem-based challenge to the next through design.
