What does assessment reform actually look like? Workshops 6 and 7
will follow the stories of
Barbara
, a math teacher in Whittier, California, and
Scott
, a science teacher in Fairdale, Kentucky, as they share their
efforts to incorporate assessment into their teaching practice. In
workshop 6 we will focus on ways in which these teachers "go public" with
their work by exchanging ideas with colleagues in their schools and by
using the support of other teachers in developing their practice. In
workshop 7 we will learn of strategies used by Barbara and Scott to
involve students in assessing their own work and that of their peers.
These workshops, produced by the
Annenberg Institute for School Reform (AISR)
, at Brown University, provide an opportunity to observe Scott's
students, as they investigate the Mars Pathfinder mission, and to see the
ways in which Barbara's students work collaboratively to develop their
understanding of algebraic functions and their graphs.
