Collecting Evidence, Portfolios and Conferencing in Elementary Classrooms: What is Working?Let Anne Davies, Ph.D. and Sandra Herbst help you to better understand how you can work with your young learners to:
- Collect valid and reliable evidence of learning
- Create portfolios that document growth and progress
- Communicate to their learning to others.
They will use video footage and accounts from classrooms to respond to these frequently asked questions;
- How can I authentically involve students in tangible, practical, and possible ways to collect evidence of their learning?
- In what ways can pedagogical documentation be a meaningful part of my assessment process, rather than an “add-on”?
- What structures of collecting evidence, portfolios and conferencing work best in today’s busy classrooms?
The student-, teacher-, administrator-, and parent-tested ideas shared during this day of learning will help you identify strategies and processes that are both practical and possible.
Come prepared to reflect, talk, think, and learn!
