I think that discussion aides our comprehension and rationale behind what we do. We understand our methods of assessment much deeper and we can articulate it to admin and colleagues.
I prefer more transparency so I can make individual decisions about assessments. My 2 cents.
Seeing as we can’t keep up, it seems best to divide up the work. We take on so much during the year. Let’s work collaboratively. I enjoy reading, asking questions and synthesizing research with our work. I also enjoy reading as to how our assessments line up with SLA principles.
Totally on board with this. I still have A WHOLE MONTH of school. I am tweaking my rubrics as we speak. Shifting my assessments. Actually no. I am not shifting my assessments. They are always part of the process. I’m shifting the documentation of them. I don’t care if it is mid-May. I know I am doing things on the fly, which is not optimum, but it’s what I need to do now, in order to create calm for myself and my students in this crazy factory of a school that seems to be a sinking ship, what with losing 8 of us from this building. I look forward so eagerly to geeking out on this.
I need to direct some focus to finding a new job, but I can’t seem to stop myself from reading, looking at rubrics and always trying to “start fresh” each day.
I feel you jen, even though my situation is different. Yesterday, a student in my level 2 was about to pass out. I of course felt trapped and mortified. My students pulled through to help out by running and advising a nurse and teacher next door. Continuing class was tough. So I took it easy by doing a FVR.
Tip: I have been finding out how valuable Word Chunk Team Game is in the last days of school. Hands down the best. And most fun.
