Current Assessment Practice and Documentation of Evidence in the Lower Elementary Setting - Leveraging New Technologies and Parent Communication Techniques In our community of practice we will be investigating, prototyping and implementing assessment strategies. collectively we will meet to discuss these practices in our school setting. The focus will be on novel strategies that align with the current direction of Rocky View Schools. We will be focusing on Powerteacher Pro and it's use both as an assessment tool and communication device. Please note that this will require fluency with Powerteacher Pro and the creation of assignments and input of various types of data.

Understanding by Backwards Design Unit Planning Understanding by Design (UbD) is a framework for improving student achievement. Emphasizing the teacher's critical role as a designer of student learning, UbD works within the standards-driven curriculum to help teachers clarify learning goals, devise revealing assessments of student understanding, and craft effective and engaging learning activities. Teachers will have the opportunity to create unit plans and performance tasks that are engaging and directly relate to program of studies, following an organized plan with clear results.
