Reflection, evaluation, and preparation.
Although we see the end of the 2017-18 school year approaching, there is still time for reflection, evaluation and improvement.
Self-reflection and evaluation provide space to think about what you could/should do next year, what goals you want to accomplish, and what type of professional development and support is needed to get there.
The SEEC will share its 2018-19 Professional Learning Opportunities Guide on the website next week! It covers many areas including:
- Afterschool programming support
- Assessment - Formative Instructional Practice
- Classroom Management
- Effective Instruction
- English Learners Support
- Health & Wellness (Mental Health, Healthy Eating, Physical Activity / Education)
- Multi-Tiered System of Supports (Academic, Behavior, Social & Emotional)
- Project-Based Learning
- Student Engagement

Prioritized Standards, Proficiency Skills & Effective Classroom Assessment
3-Part Webinar Series with Phil Warrick, Marzano Research
In the standards-era of education, it is critical that schools develop a Guaranteed and Viable curriculum. A guaranteed curriculum means all teachers will teach the same priority standards for the same course and/or grade level. A viable curriculum is one that can be taught in the time available for teachers to do so.
Assessment is first and foremost a teaching tool, not just a grading tool. Developing quality assessments and using a variety of assessment practices is one of the most important aspects for teaching and learning in the standards-based learning environment.

Legos in the Library
Edgeley Meaningful Out-of-School-Time Program
On March 21st, Edgeley's Meaningful Out of School Time (MOST) Program took its students to the community library to create a themed Lego display. This project allowed students to brainstorm a theme, plan of action and how they would present it back to the group - a great use of 21st Century Skills and the 4 Cs (Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Critical Thinking).

Digital Skills for 21st Century Teachers
Creating digital portfolios
As you and your students start to prepare for the flurry of end-of-year assignments, projects, and tests, it's important to recognize the progress and growth that your students have shown throughout the year or term. One way of doing this is through a portfolio of student work.
What if I told you that you there is a way I can keep them with me without the restrictions of physical space? Say what? Yes! Through a digital portfolio, anyone can take their previous work (in digital format) with them anywhere in the world (where there is an internet connection).
Examples include: Google Sites,
EverNote,
OneNote,
Seesaw,
Weebly.
