Date: Wednesday, October 12, 2011 7:00 – 8:00 PM Ontario Time
This webinar will use examples from Grade 9 and 10 mathematics courses to explore the application of Growing Success to mathematics instruction and assessment. We will discuss Assessment for Learning and Assessment as Learning in detail. In this discussion, we will explore how the seven fundamental principles of assessment can be applied in the classroom, and how achievement of curriculum expectations can be assessed through student products, conversations and observations. In conclusion, we will explore briefly some guiding principles of Assessment of Learning.

Could the Powerpoint be available on your website for webinar math #7
Yes they will be up later today
A question I wanted to ask Ms. Alamparambil was, if a person from the Ministry was to come into my classroom tomorrow, what would he/she need to observe that will demonstrate that I am implementing ideas from the Growing Success document in my math class?
As a start, I would show lesson plans which include “learning goals” and “success criteria”. The school also has to develop a written, three year implementation plan, which outlines what would be implemented in each year.
Do you have a sample lesson plan/courseoutline showing implementation of Growing Success. Could you mail me back please
