Feb. 20- PLC (Active Exploration: Math)


PLC – February 20, 2013

Jen Aruba, Terra Xavier, Lisa Thibeau and Anica Robinson

Terra brought student math assessment questions to the table, since report cards are on our minds.
The issue was how to assess student work when we are integrating multiple strands within the discipline.  During math class, students are participating in authentic and engaging activities that encompass many different concepts. 
The problem arises of how to accurately represent their learning in their summative numeric assessment for the reporting period.

We came to the conclusion that it would be best to assess on a particular strand each term.  This would not necessarily have to be the same strand for each student, however, by the end of the year each student would have a comprehensive assessment of math.

In two weeks, Arruda, Thibeau and Xavier will bring student work from the projects discussed during previous PLCs to look at and comment on.
