Assessment
Assessment in achieved through the process of documentation
- through photographs
- audio and video recordings
- student art samples
- transcribing student conversations
- including collaborative mind maps
- making connections to the curriculum
- considering the big ideas
- being cognizant of when to prompt
- being considerate of the audience (students, parents, visitors)
- telling the learning story- key moments of discovery, retelling events in sequence
- documenting how misconceptions led to discovery
- collaboration with other staff, parents, students to analyze, classify and evaluate the learning
- revisit learning stories to build on and consolidate knowledge and skills
- often inquiry-driven
- recording the child exactly as they communicate
- value the learners in whatever medium they choose to demonstrate their knowledge
- teachers learn about themselves as researchers with each documentation panel they help to create
- documentation should be thoughtfully organized and displayed to honour the learning and invite people to read it
- makes learning visible
