Jacksonville - Oct. 13, 2010

Formative Assessments & Standards-Based Grading

I thought this would be a good place to start posting for discussions on the event in Jacksonville and plans leading up to the conference.

Formative Assessments and Standards Based Grading

Hello Team,
First, I want to say how IMPRESSIVE it has been to hear such positive feedback from teachers regarding the Common Assessments roll out over the last 2 weeks!  I know how much work you ALL have put into making sure this initiative is going forth smoothly with our teachers.
As we plan for professional development for the 2010-2011 school year, I see another workshop that is being offered by Solution Tree that we may want to consider, but I wanted to get feedback from you first.  Ms. Begley mentioned that she saw the second part to the training we attended on the website, and it is in Florida, but I do not see it.  The link below is a 2-day training in Jacksonville that involves the Grading Piece.  Please look it over and let me know your thoughts.  This is a good time to start a blog, so we can discuss (Phil, are you interested in setting this up?), but in the meantime we will use email :-)

Let me know...thank you!
