We are excited to try a new program to help you plan your experience at the 2016 NESSC High School Redesign in Action Conference. PLEASE NOTE: That all sessions are on a first-come, first-serve basis. Adding a session to your personal agenda does not ensure yourself a seat in the session, but rather a way to help you plan where to head.
If you need help with your sched.org account, please contact Becky Vance, rvance@greatschoolspartnership.org.
For the past two years, the Foxcroft Academy community has worked to develop a digital student portfolio system to enable a proficiency-based and personalized assessment of Maine’s Guiding Principles, which the school has adopted as its mission standards.
In this session, members of the administration and the leadership team will present the current status of their work with digital student portfolios. More importantly, they will share and reflect on the professional development structures and processes that have guided their efforts. Presenters will focus on how they’ve used design thinking and the professional learning community model to engage with this work in a way that will develop knowledge and skills that teachers can transfer to their subject-area work in proficiency-based and personalized learning.
Participants will engage with a variety of essential questions that have emerged from Foxcroft Academy’s work so that they will leave with ideas on how to develop, sustain, or improve cross-cutting standards assessment in a way that will drive systemic improvement in proficiency-based and personalized learning initiatives.
