Welcome!
|
Welcome to our discussion, "Developing and discussing classroom assessment strategies. " We hope that in this discussion, we can explore together question such as: Where can we find, or how can we develop, questions that explore students' understanding of the concepts and methods of science? Can we share good examples, sources, and useful ideas to help us invent and evaluate such questions? Who has gotten their pupils to develop the skills and habits of self-assessment? How can peer assessment be encouraged, and how is it best used?
We recommend that you start by writing briefly who you are, what project you're from, and what question or interest you bring to this discussion; or you may want to respond directly to the "seeding questions" above.
Note from Brian Drayton: This will be a many-sided conversation, of course, but Paul's participation is key, and so we wanted to mention that Paul has identified several "windows" during which he'll be able to read and respond actively, over the course of the discussion. So if he seems to fall silent for a few days, be patient, he'll be back in reach of a web browser soon enough!
