📣Friday Feature📣 When checking to see if your final evaluations incorporate principles of equitable assessment and CRRP, consider using these questions as a starting point. Go to bit.ly/FEsEACRRP to make your own copy of the chart (image #2).
An image of ten numbered peach and brownish pink ovals appear with white text. In the centre, the title reads: Equitable Assessment and CRRP: Questions to Consider When Creating a Final Evaluation. In the bottom right corner, it says: Click on the Google Doc for a fillable chart. For the text inside each circle, go to bit.ly/FEsEACRRP (which takes you to the plain text Google Doc).

If you are interested in impressing a room of fifteen-year-olds, as I was able to do today, here was my secret: scratch and sniff stickers.

Equitable and inclusive assessment doesn’t lower the bar, it ELEVATES it. It’s just a shift in perspective: Offer choice ➡️ expect high-quality work Triangulate assessment ➡️ increase data validity Give re-tests ➡️ demand proficiency Equity and excellence go hand in hand. – at Toronto, Ontario

There are 153,000 students in Peel Public Schools. At $200 per student, over $30 million will be taken from @PeelSchools and given directly to parents. Imagine what our local schools could do with over 30 million dollars!

It took a long time. It wasn’t smooth or efficient. But they worked hard and got there in the end and pointed out where one category was not being evaluated sufficiently and adjusted the criteria themselves. And they all agreed making an assignment was harder than they expected.

They deeply understand the criteria. They talked to each other about assessment. We might need to still adjust criteria which is okay. And next time will be smoother as will the time after that. Worth it 💯
