Clarifying Understanding

How is your understanding developing after Tuesday's class with Paige regarding assessment practices? I would be interested to hear how you are piecing the concepts together. Last week we realized that this will be a long process and these aren't practices you can completely understand within one or two sessions of information. Each week should help you take one step closer in being able to try one or two ideas within your practicum.
I would appreciate if those that didn't post a comment last week try to post this time so I know you can manage the technology. If you need help please let me know. Thanks to those that shared thoughts last week.

Talking about Assessment for Learning

It was great to meet all of you today and explore the assessment for learning practices with students from Brechin Elementary. Hopefully each of you will take away at least one thing that you can use to move your learning forward in this area and support students with their learning. Let me know your thoughts by commenting on the blog and joining as a follower.

Keep on Learning

Starting a new phase of my teaching learning journey....my work with student teachers and teachers has led me to coaching a group of learners in exploring assessment practices. My particular passion lies in assessment for learning practices because of its particular capacity to engage and augment any learning situation. When I reflect on my own learning I am constantly trying to incorporate the assessment for learning practices to help me clarify understanding. In otherwards, I try to practice what I teach. (or is it preach) Either way when we use these assessment for learning tools we become effective learners.
Take the time to reflect on your own learning and try to incorporate the assessment for learning tools as you learn them to support your understanding. Tell us what you notice and we'll build on that thinking. Cheers!
