ESSENTIAL CONDITIONS FOR BUILDING A CULTURE OF DATA USE WITH SHABBI LUTHRA & PIOTR OLCZAK
Thursday, March 3, 2022
7:00 PM HKT
Schools gather limitless information about their students and their skills, needs, and their growth/ progress. They hope this data can be used by their teachers to design interventions and learning engagements for their students. In order for teachers to use the data, it requires that school leaders build a culture of data use. This session will share the essential conditions for schools to build and develop a data-using and data-informed culture.
INTERDISCIPLINARY LEARNING & PROJECTS WITH SUZIE BOSS
Saturday, March 5 & 12, 2022
9:00 AM HKT
When students tackle challenges that matter to them, engagement increases. To ensure that their initial engagement leads to deep learning, educators can look for interdisciplinary opportunities embedded in real-world projects.
INCLUSION WITH RUSSELL LEHMANN
Saturday, March 19, 2022
9:00 AM HKT
Inclusion has become a trendy term when it comes to creating an equitable environment for all people. Yet, how often are our inclusion practices translating to the feeling of being included? We often think of inclusion as a goal, rather than a verb that has to be practiced every day.
CURRICULUM REVIEW: A PROVEN PATHWAY TO SUCCESS WITH ANDREW MILLER
Thursday, March 31, April 7 & 14, 2022
6:00 PM HKT (75 mins. includes Q&A)
Every school engages in curriculum review on a regular basis—for accreditation, for program development and evaluation and because curriculum is the life blood of all we do. In this three-part series, Andrew Miller, Director of Teaching and Learning at Singapore American School, will share with us many of the tried and true methods and processes SAS embraces in their approach to curriculum review.
ASSESSMENT PRACTICES FOR ACCELERATING LEARNING (6-12 MATH) WITH ERMA ANDERSON
Thursday, March 31 and April 7, 2022
7:00 PM HKT (60 Minutes)
Formative assessment is critical for showing us what students have and have not learned. However, formative data does not always provide clear, actionable steps for determining where students are in their learning and how best to move learning forward. One way to use formative data more effectively is in conjunction with a quality learning progression, a blueprint for how learning typically develops over time.
