We'll spend the afternoon re-thinking assessments with YJ Kim and Louisa Rosenheck of the MIT Teaching System Lab. Together we'll play Metarubric, a game designed to help us re-imagine rubric design better assess our students' creative work and also aligns with our beliefs about learning.
Inspired Learning Roundtable Sessions
Roundtable sessions were reviewed ensure they incorporate several aspects of Inspired Learning & McLeod's 4 Shifts, which include, but are not limited to:
- Deep Inquiry: Students go beyond rote memorization to investigate questions, apply knowledge & create projects for an outside audience
- Student Agency: Students choose the content of what they are learning/role in the project /medium for sharing understanding
- Authentic & Engaging Work: The projects represent products that have value and meaning both inside and outside of the school
- Purposeful Use of Technology: Technology serves, not drives, the project unless the product is technology oriented
