2017-2018 school year had begun and I was quickly learning how to observe teachers and give meaningful feedback, to encourage cognitive coaching conversion. After observing for a few months and talking with my principal, Jessica Bennett, we both attending the Solution Tree Assessment and Grading conference in Phoenix, Arizona.
This conference changed how we would view assessment, grading and student learning. We went all 3 days and soaked up as much information as we possibly could, once the third day came we were second guessing where we even begin when we get back to our campus (this is the feeling after most teaching conferences). On the last day of the conference we were able to sign up to speak to one of the presenters, Cassandra Erkens. She was able to help us determine where our starting point is with our teachers. She recommended we start with Design in 5 by Nicole Dimich Vagle on the phases of creating engaging assessments.
So we jumped right to work and created our schools ladder for our teachers on the process of Bradshaw Mountain Middle School Assessment Ladder
