Assessment Tools
Today we'll take some time to explore and experiment with assessment tools for teachers. Managing and collecting learning documentation is an essential part of the work you'll do. It's not only about establishing the learning goals, creating the success criteria, setting the learning targets and providing feedback to improve learning. It's a shared responsibility to manage the 'evidence of learning'.
Let's look at some digital tools to help with this work.

Storytelling
|
Assessment and evaluation can be considered through a media lens - consider the audience, text and production.
How could you share the 'story' with students and parents when it's time to 'report' on progress? Who are the authors and what are the roles for students ~ as collaborative co-authors or only characters in the story? |
