Guest Speaker Joy Nolan from Mastery Collaborative
We are welcoming Joy Nolan from Mastery Collaborative as our guest speaker for this Family Breakfast. Brooklyn Collaborative has been a member of the Mastery Collaborative for the last two years (http://www.masterycollaborative.org/#home) - a DOE initiative to change the paradigm of grading. A team of BCS teachers and leadership attend quarterly meetings and PDs and network with and learn from about 40 other schools that are grappling with topics related to grading and assessment.
Join us to hear more about the following topics to support your child at Brooklyn Collaborative:
- What is mastery based grading?
- How does mastery based grading support the whole child?
- What types of assessment and feedback are most helpful for adolescents?
- What does Mastery Collaborative do in partnership with Brooklyn Collaborative to bring together like-minded schools looking for more authentic ways of capturing what students know?
- How can families support mastery based grading?
Please join us!
Joy will provide a reading for families to take home to learn more about what types of grading and assessment benefit teens in secondary schools.
