Assessment
Hey Everybody,
I hope your summer's have been going well. Things have been going great in Mass, but I am already getting back to some work for the new year. I have two questions for you all that I was hoping you guys/ladies could help me out with.
1. Have any of you ever heard of the 20/20 Challenge by NAIS? I just signed up for it with my school, and because I'm the jerk that suggested it, I'm running it now.
2. My curriculum coordinator just told me that she would like all of us to be more accountable for assessments and to discuss new ways to assess students. I know we spent a whole day on this NJ, did we read any articles, or do we have any pictures of what we wrote down for assessment on those large poster sheets? I want to take another look at them because I'm drawing a few blanks on what we did regarding this. I mostly remember just doing a PBA, but I know we discussed more than this.
Thanks for your help.

think about the uses in your classroom, documents, your own narratives, philosophies, students' work...
