Nathaniel responded with a simple comment to Claire. Russ has commented, as have others. There is interest. I can attest that this is new here. Yes, we had a great four year long discussion with jGR/ISR. It changed a lot of what we do but was always mitigated, dragged down. jGR/ISR is used a lot in Denver Public Schools. BUT this is a bigger change. I can feel it. In this thread led by Claire, I see something much bigger, much more freeing and full of something that really feels new re: how we assess. Personally, I have been waiting for this discussion for a long time.
Nathaniel’s comment, so simple, has the implications of a megaton bomb :
…get out a rubric. Notice what kids can do. Circle the rubric. And toss it in a folder. And that’s an assessment. Sounds doable, Claire. Thanks….
