What was your plan?

• to create a unit that incorporates formative assessment practices (K-7) using Maker Spaces
• to be able to share with staff at our May Pro. D. day

WHAT DID YOU LEARN?

• I need time to talk with my colleagues
• Having the 'gift' of time to talk was instrumental to my learning
• There are creative ways to build in 'talk time' in to our practice (buddies, student teacher, District release time)
• Everyone is on a personal learning journey---not everyone is where I am at, or is open to being curious
• How powerful it is to make learning intentions visiblel and known to students and parents

WHAT HELPED YOUR LEARNING?

• seeing concrete examples of the various parts of the planning tool from Hillcrest
• sharing, learning, doing at the F.A. 3.0 sessions
• Hillcrest modelling the tools and examples they had used
• closing my door and blocking out the negativity from those who have not 'drunk for koolaid'
• seeing students respond and their engagement---the realization that F.A. really 'works'

WHERE TO NEXT?

• More LI \ "I Can" statements posted around the room
• Formative Assessment Classrooms - where are we all at in our school? How do we move forward?
• Create inquiry question focused on school goal
• BIG IDEAS 'visible' (incorporate 'new' curriculum)
• educate parents about a 'growth mindset' and changing 'communicating student learning' (NEW report card)
