Assessment

=In order to personalise our teaching we need to know 'what the student knows' .... data! data! data!= =Reporting=
 * reporting each term - outcomes for learning areas listed. Commenting left for three way interviews.
 * term 'Teacher Advisor meetings' - organising individual learning plans with parents and students (30 to 45 mins)
 * getting to know information - Include parents in the conversation- Things we need to know, learning styles, how does your child learn best, what are their strengths and weaknesses,
 * communication lines- email parent/teacher, phone calls, meetings so that there's no hit/miss with how/when a parent can contact you
 * Learning Centre Facebook account

= Observation and Assessment =
 * Observation and other anecdotal records. Necessary for all team members to be able to comment on all students.
 * Google docs page shared by all teachers
 * Dropbox app that syncs with all laptops. Documents able to be shared easily.
 * Dropbox for students to put files for feedback into. Folder is shared with all teachers.


 * Pre assessment: need a clear picture of what students know prior to introduction of any new concept. Here are some ideas:
 * On Demand testing
 * Students response to task broken into their understanding of each part.

 * What data do we need to collect from our students (or other places) that will help us support their individual learning needs?**
 * Brainstorm and add what you think. Here's the bones of a beginning :)**


 * Writing**
 * writing sample
 * Use Naplan marking guides to support moderation
 * spelling: SAST
 * anecdotal records, student/LA feedback


 * Reading**
 * Probe
 * On demand testing
 * Anecdotal records: focus group


 * Maths**
 * On demand testing
 * First Steps diagnostic tasks: use for pretest... investigate point of need... support seminars.... post diagnostic
