  1. Looking at Student Work:Lens, Layers and Learning Michelle Swanson Swanson & Cosgrave Consulting July, 2010 NAF Summer Institute michelle@swansonandcosgrave.com

  2. Agenda Questions for our session? • What is LASW strategy and what is the rationale for using it? • What practices and protocols can we use with our colleagues? • What implications are there for using student work to guide some instructional decisions?

  3. Agenda (format) • Quick review and stories from Project Zero’s Steve Seidel • Introduction of the Collaborative Assessment Conference protocol applied to the work of a DECA research project • Practice of the protocol applied to DECA marketing video project • Conversation about implications, opportunities, connections, Q&A

  4. Conceptual Framework • Process began by Steve Seidel at Project Zero as the teacher equivalent to medical rounds. • Steve, Tina Blythe and the other Zeros created the Collaborative Assessment Conference as a construct for the work. • Rounds happen the first Saturday of each month. 30-80 teachers show up, one or two share work, everyone leaves energized.

  5. Why was the Collaborative Assessment Protocol process developed?

  6. How does the protocol work? • Select a piece of work • Group describes work in detail • Group speculates on what students are working on, thinking about • Group asks questions • Presenting teacher responds • Implications for teaching and learning discussed

  7. Our Presenting Teacher • Deb Moore • Raymond S. Kellis HS • Glendale, Arizona • Project One: Act Out Loud Video • Project Two: Sports and Entertainment Marketing Research

  8. Examining the Work • We’ll play the video two times. • Take notes on anything that strikes you--what do you notice, what do you see, what do you wonder? • Be prepared to share your observations, questions, speculations • Five minutes to discuss with neighbor and be ready to engage in protocol

  9. Examining Project 2 • Take 10 minutes to read a selection from a Kellis HS school project • Mark up the text with observations, wonderings, same as last time. • Turn to partner and share findings • Be prepared to share your thinking.

  10. DECA Research Project

  11. So What? Who Cares? Based on our work today… • What is valuable about this strategy and protocol? • How might you use this strategy in your own work? • How might you use this in your school or academy?
