teacher collaboration
Professional collaboration and courtesy
Posted by David Wees on Mar 31, 2010
Today I got a LOT of work done. Our school is doing student led conferences soon, which is currently a lot of work for us as teachers because it is only the second time we have run the conferences, and a lot of the preparation work is falling on our shoulders. Hopefully this will change in the future. Anyway, the reason I got so much work done is because another one of my colleagues saw me working late at school last night, and when he found out the reason why, he volunteered to cover one of my classes for me today.
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.
