"In education, this will be the hardest practice to implement because everything is so data driven these days."
Melissa,
Congratulations on your new job! Having been a Technology Specialist for 11 years I know it will be a rewarding one. Since it is all invented maybe we can re-invent what we call data. The definition of data is a collection of facts so who is to say that assessment has to be grades on a percentage scale. Rubrics are a great way to introduce projects in the classroom. Peer reviews could be another. When I was in the classroom I never put letter grades or percentages on papers. I wrote the number of questions they got correct out if the total number of questions and gave the students and parents opportunity to discuss any concerns. You have the opportunity to eliminate the box and create new possibilities. I would love to know how it is going.
