| Timeline - AISI Cycle 4 will begin in September 2009 and be in place for three school years. |
| Division Coordinators - Tamara Gordon & Sue Humphry |
| Program Description- This project has been designed to improve student learning through the implementation of assessment for learning strategies. These strategies are the activities that teachers and students engage in while the students are learning. Through the use of these strategies, students are aware of where they are going with their learning, where they are at now, and how to close the gap between the two. This necessitates a high degree of student engagement and requires students to actively assume responsibility for their learning. Teachers share with their students the learning targets using student friendly language, as well as provide them with meaningful assignments where expectations are made clear. Teachers develop criteria with their students, offer descriptive feedback and use models or exemplars of expected work. In addition, teachers focus on using effective questioning techniques and engage students in peer self assessment which involves students in tracking, reflecting upon, revising and communicating of their own progress. Assessment for learning strategies will also involve a backward design planning process to achieve better alignment between curriculum and instruction. |
