Transformation of how we “do” schoolAssessment - move away from traditional assessments

Discussion is about learning not about technology

Staff evaluations

premise:

Teachers have the GREATEST impact on Student Learning...NOT technology

RESEARCH: ROBERT MARZANO - CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION THAT WORKS

“Nothing in education puts a bigger ceiling on learning than limiting kids to what is in the textbook...

...We live in an age of iPads, Google and Skype. To the learner that wants to know more, do more, and explore more, the opportunities are there...

...We just have to think outside of the book.”Dangerously Irrelevant Blog (http://dangerouslyirrelevant.org/2012/08/think-outside-the-book.html) Krissy Venosdale via http://venspired.com/?p=3225
