Educational Reform has made major impacts within education within the past 20 years.

Thank you for your post Tony. Student ownership is certainly what we all are after. Do you have any more details for how you encourage or prompt student analysis of their work?

Students use a data notebook to analyze assessments and performance. We update them every few weeks to keep it fresh in their minds.

Bringing toilet paper back to the classroom! My students are using toilet paper squares to model percents of a whole number. Each student is given 10 connected squares of toilet paper along with some counters used to model each whole number. Guided the students in a whole class setting, asking the right questions will lead them to each square…Read More

Welcome Jeff! Loved the video and the vision of performance/authentic assessment it offers. Not only an excellent job by the student, but a wonderful example of relevant assessment. Others may want to visit https://www.performanceassessmentresourcebank.org/ where Stanford University has undertaken the building of a performance assessment resource bank.
