Assessing Key Competencies

When we assess I always ask what value is this for moving my students on in their learning.
We need to blend the best of what we already know with what is new.
The assessment needs to be relevant and effective, providing them with the next steps of learning.
Learning happens in many places, not just at school.
Children need to develop multi literacies for learning.
New learning challenges us with a call for creative problem solving.
Students need to know what sucess looks like but also how to assess themselves against a criteria.
Working with others is central to life-long learning.
We need to know what life long learning is; it is so vast. It is like the end product.
