Jan Chappuis will focus on all aspects of curriculum: the intended, the enacted, and the assessed. She will address the work of identifying and unpacking standards of learning to create learning targets. Jan will help teachers know how to identify those learning targets into categories such as knowledge, reasoning, skills or products. She will lead learning on what a balanced assessment system looks like, and what it takes to create that system within the instructional cycle. Last, Jan will address the need to plan for accommodations and modifications for exceptional learners such as special education students, ELL and gifted/advanced learners. Participants must be registered by Oct. 15 since this is a national speaker. So get registered now!

Join Us for Standards-Based Learning “Framework Fridays”

Nine EdCamp-style workshops will be held throughout the 2018-19 school year to provide additional learning, collaboration and conversation for those interested in Standards-Based Learning (SBL) Including Grading and Reporting. The workshops coincide with specific strands of the Standards-Based Learning Framework developed by Heartland AEA. You can attend whatever sessions are of interest to you; you do not need to attend all nine. Come learn with us!
