Learning Skills & AssessmentThroughout the year we will be working on developing our learning skills which are the most important habits that help us with our learning. We will try to grow as much as possible in the areas of:
|
Assessment of Learning“Assessment of learning is the assessment that becomes public and results in statements or symbols about how well students are learning. It often contributes to pivotal decisions that will affect students’ futures.” (Western and Northern Canadian Protocol, p. 55)
|
Assessment for Learning“Assessment for learning is the process of seeking and interpreting evidence for use by learners and their teachers to decide where the learners are in their learning, where they need to go, and how best to get there.” (Assessment Reform Group, 2002, p. 2)
|
Assessment as Learning“Assessment as learning focuses on the explicit fostering of students’ capacity over time to be their own best assessors, but teachers need to start by presenting and modelling external, structured opportunities for students to assess themselves.” (Western & North Can. Protocol, p. 42)
