Imagine this graph represents the possible relationships between accountability and creativity.
Where would you put the activities you do as a school? Here are some examples of activities some school do, and where I think they lie on the accountability vs creativity scale.
Collaborating for end of year assessments
Posted by David Wees on Mar 26, 2010
This year we are collaborating at my school for our end of year assessments. Our objective is to create assessments which are somewhat open ended, while providing opportunities for the students to demonstrate that they understand, and can use, what they have learned this year. In my 9th grade class, it looks like we will be collaborating in Science, Math, and Design & Technology to produce an assessment. I'm pretty excited about it, it's actually my first time doing a collaborative end of year assessment.
