Classroom Teachers and Lead Learners

Begins September 2008

System-wide Coaching Program includes:

  • gathering of baseline assessment information by participants
  • "just in time" support
  • ongoing access to latest knowledge being generated in different systems and contexts
  • access to the latest information and ideas regarding assessment for learning in action at all levels in the system
  • ongoing research and planning to inform all levels

Comprehensive Package for System-wide Alignment

The success of a system-wide assessment for learning initiative depends on the alignment of all roles within the system, from classroom teachers to school leaders to system leadership.

This coaching package is your opportunity to support your entire assessment for learning team and members of your staff, from leaders to teachers, who need tools, strategies, and "just in time" learning to apply to their respective roles.

Think about the effect of powerful ideas applied across the system. Think about every level of your system working on assessment for learning on a regular basis. Consider the power of every level, -- from classroom teachers to senior leadership -- examining ways to transform barriers, and learning alongside colleagues in similar roles from other jurisdictions with a similar vision.

Through this multi-layered coaching program, participants will learn about assessment for learning while also discovering ways to structure, manage, and monitor their own assessment for learning initiatives. The program takes place over an entire year and takes participants forward while being thoughtfully involved in:

  • reviewing baseline assessment information
  • identifying needs and gaps
  • setting goals
  • putting supportive structures and practices in place
  • answering questions along the way
  • collecting evidence
  • assessing progress
  • evaluating results and planning for future learning

The program is designed to take participating teams through a comprehensive planning and implementation process, which will give them new resources and knowledge for success.

Anne Davies has provided our assessment team with insightful guidance on how to deal with some of the most challenging assessment issues in our district and province. We find the online sessions provide a safe and supportive learning environment and give everyone an opportunity for thoughtful dialogue. Each member of our learning team leaves every session with great enthusiasm, newfound understanding, and strategies/protocols that can immediately be put to use to support our district's priorities. Anne's understanding and skills in the areas of assessment for learning, school improvement, and facilitation make her a highly valued resource. We all look forward to the web conferences and get so much out of them that nobody likes to miss a session!
