Parent & Community 21.1 F ocus on Assessment: Choosing an Appropriate Lens to Support, Measure, and Report Academic Growth of Advanced Learners
Session is a Poster Session
Gail Fischer Hubbard, Joan Brownlee, Prince William County Public Schools, Manassas, VA
Supporting, measuring, and reporting the academic growth of advanced learners requires a range of assessments. Using the analogy of choosing among standard, zoom, telephoto, and wideangle camera lenses clarifies the differing purposes of the forms of assessment. A range of concrete examples of assessment of actual student work, using different lenses, illustrates this concept. Assessment becomes a series of experiences to support learning rather than a single event to judge learning. Learn how different lenses focus on appropriate assessment of student work to support, measure, and report academic growth of advanced learners. Audience: Administrators, Advocates/Association Leaders, Classroom Teachers K-12, Coordinators, Counselors, Parents
