Overview

Dear Faculty Friends:


This year's school offered Professional Development will focus on student centered Assessments For Learning (AFL).  We will be exploring and discussing teaching practices that motivate and instruct rather than merely measure and punish. Together, we will read, discuss, and experiment with content from the book Grading Smarter Not Harder: Assessment Strategies the Motivate Kids and Help Them Learn (Myron Dueck, 2014)
