  1. FOCI IV “Collaborating with colleagues to consolidate the curriculum” EASTERN MEDITERRANEAN UNIVERSITY School of Foreign Languages English Preparatory School

  2. the BRIDGE between CURRICULUM and ASSESSMENT

  3. ENSURING TESTS MATCH TEACHING • Collecting feedback on assessment from teachers & students • Having regular meetings with Ts/CM/TM using feedback forms • Involving teachers in proofreading • Teachers forming a bank of questions • TRUST vs TRAINING • TEACHER INVOLVEMENT INCREASES TEACHER OWNERSHIP • WE CAN’T TEST EVERYTHING WE TEACH

  4. COMBINING OR NOT COMBINING TESTING AND CURRICULUM UNITS? • Curriculum is... • more longsighted • more flexible • oriented to testing for learning • more open to innovatıons • Testing... • has stricter deadlines • is oriented to testing of learning • is more concerned with standardization

  5. RESPONSIBILITIES & ROLES • Members in both units should - have clear roles and job descriptions • A suggestion... - In order to lessen the workload of Testing Unit, should there be a special team for the admin and logistical side of assessment? TEACHERS? SECRETARIES?

  6. RESISTANCE & CONFLICT • We can’t avoid conflict ! but we can benefit from it by.. • Teacher involvement & engagement • Providing rationale for the changes made or not made • Asking for constructive feedback • Asking for contribution

  7. FAMILIARITY WITH DOCUMENTS & COMMON PHILOSOPHY by... • Providing clear and accessible documents to all stakeholders • Vitalizing documents • Discussing related issues in regular staff/level meetings • Getting support from higher admin

  8. CURRICULAR INNOVATIONS!!! First piloting without formal assessment?? or Implementingand assessingfrom the beginning??
