Proficiency Leadership Team: Materials for Monday 14 April

Agenda

1) We will begin by reviewing the Problem Solving Standard and generated rubrics (they are attached below). I have also attached the assessment examples we generated in Stormboard so that you may look at these rubrics against those activities to see if they capture the right outcomes.

You can find our draft language for the performance indicators here (Creative and Practical Problem Solver)

2) We will next take up the Guiding Principle, Integrated and Informed Thinker, we will undertake the same process as last time for Problem Solving. There are more issues, in my humble opinion, with the manner in which this principle is framed that we will need to address. It incorporates at least two very different outcomes (Integrated thinker and informed thinker). Please review the following materials and think about areas where you could assess either.

PART 1: Integrative Thinker

Standards Integrative and Informed Thinker

Please try to read this piece on Integrative Thinking Cultivating an Opposable Mind | Canadian Education Association (CEA). I am of the opinion that this piece of the standard is an instructional and curricular set of decisions and not amenable to assessment as a Guiding Principle. However, I am looking forward to hearing what each of you believe.
