  1. Communicating Student Learning

  2. New BC Curriculum – 21st Century Learning

  3. The Learning Process • Teachers create rich learning tasks based on student interests • Together teachers and students set criteria • Powerful questioning/learning conversations allow for ongoing, timely descriptive feedback to the student • Teachers and students intentionally gather evidence over time to inform teaching and learning • Metacognitive skills are developed through student reflection and self-assessment • Learning can be process, inquiry, and/or project based

  4. Reporting is one part of the assessment process and is summative – Report Cards. Looks forward by gathering evidence & making plans to move forward Students actively engaged & monitoring their own learning - Reflection

  5. The Ministry of Education has provided schools with the opportunity to report to parents in more flexible ways. • We are calling this shift in emphasis • communicating student learning, which: • is more timely, ongoing, & responsive • builds a collaboration between students, parents, and teachers • promotes student ownership of their learning • Focus is on the learning process & what needs to be done to reach your full potential, rather than the end achievement (grade)

  6. Many teachers are using portfolios to provide a comprehensive illustration of student performance. By making learning visible and connecting ideas across learning experiences, portfolios drive the practice of reflection, advance higher-order thinking, and help students construct purposeful identities as learners.

  7. Growth vs Fixed Mind Sets – Carol Dweck

  8. No letter grades? • Letter grades tend to foster a Fixed Mindset in students. “I always get a C+ in Math.” “I got a C in Science. I’m no good at it.” • A letter grade on a written composition or project gives the student no information about how to improve. • Students with a Growth Mindset are much more likely to continue learning. They see themselves as learners with potential. • Feedback for learning promotes a Growth Mindset. Providing a student with feedback about what’s working and what to focus on next provides students with the tools they need to improve.

  9. New BC Ministry of Education Proficiency Scale (K-7) replaces letter grades for all Taylor Park students for 2019
