Developing Lifelong Learners Who Grow, Lead and Inspire
Week of April 11, 2016
Lean-In Assessment
Combined with the "human story" is the "learning story" that is also gleaned through observing, asking and listening. Gathering information about how a student learns is the key to personalized learning and can be the avenue by which we add to the student's human story and their opportunity for an equitable education.
- How does the student approach tasks?
- What are the student's strengths?
- What are the struggles the student encounters and how are struggles addressed?
Standardized assessments will not provide quality data on these questions. And, it is the answers to these questions that will guide our responsive next steps in approaching individual student learning. So grab a clipboard and start (or continue) "lean in assessment" to increase your effectiveness as you learn more about your students' individual "learning stories" and your massive impact on continuing to write that learning story with each student.
