Conversations about Student Learning Using a Protocol for Structured Conversations
by Erma Anderson
Research confirms that student work from a teacher's own classroom is a critical source of evidence for student learning. Teachers have always examined student work as a part of their grading process but the focus on standards has driven a more structured and collaborative examination of student learning. The focus has shifted from assessment of learning to assessment for learning.
This session will provide participants a structured format, the Evidence to Excellence protocol, for analyzing and reflecting on student learning. It will provide an opportunity to reflect critically on the rigor and relevance of opportunities for students to learn, the effectiveness of instructional practices, the evidence of student learning and how to use this information to improve teaching and learning in the classroom.
Audience: Teachers- beginners/experienced
