Just a lot to think about, and I'm thinking aloud here.Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08013834612284846819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647467334854988300.post-1375716980926347902008-11-11T16:40:00.000-05:002008-11-11T16:40:00.000-05:00Since formative assesment is the hot topic I have ...Since formative assesment is the hot topic I have begun to ask myself the same things. We, as administrators, have little chance for peer review, or focused assessment. Maybe we need to look at standards for ourselves as a means of measuring effectiveness in a formative sense. Do we use the national standards or something that we devise? <BR/><BR/>The key, regardless of the standards we measure, is being honest and transparent. I had an unplanned assessment of how I do my job the other day. A group of passionate, intelligent teachers gave me a few things to reflect on and grow from.<BR/><BR/>Although to some it could have appeared inappropriate, it spoke well of my relationship with them. They were honest, not attacking. The comments were based in fact (and a bit of feeling), over all I felt that I learned something and will change some of the things I do, or don't do, immediately.<BR/><BR/>This will be an interesting path for us to travel, perhaps a blog is the best tool for this peer review. How do we recruit others is another question?eduguy101https://www.blogger.com/profile/05015134065851829753noreply@blogger.com
