Assessment for Learning - Overview

"I like to talk about what I want to write so that I know what I'm trying to write. It just makes sense."

Change Through Professional Learning Communities

The major goal for the Assessment for Learning Project in Edmonton Catholic Schools is to help develop the capacity at the school and district level to manage and implement change that enhances student learning.

This project will help teachers and administrators collaboratively:

• deepen their understanding of why Assessment for Learning is changing
• develop a common base of knowledge of what works to enhance student learning
• identify principles and mindshifts needed to implement the components of assessment
• develop action plans that address student assessment and learning
• develop a strong understanding of planning, design, aligning, assessment, curriculum and instruction
