Abstract
My desire to learn more about the ways teachers assess student learning came
about as a result of my work with the new Language Learning Program of Studies.
During the i nservice sessions the questions about "how to assess students" were the
toughest to respond to. I realized that teachers needed more information about
student assessment in order to understand the complete "language learning"
picture. We created a professional development activity that could fill that role.
The opportunity for me to chair a symposium centered around student assessment
allowed me to combine my responsibilities as Program Services Consultant for
Medicine Hat School District #76 and as a Language Learning Steering Committee
member for the Southern Alberta Professional Development Consortium, with my
Graduate studies at the University of Lethbridge. Through the cooperative efforts of
M.H.S.D. #76, S.A.P.D.C., and the South Eastern Alberta Regional Council on
School Administration we were able to offer a successful three day symposium that
encouraged teachers and administrators to explore the congruency between learning,
teaching, and assessment. This project documents the development and
delivery of the symposium, Student Assessment: A Positive Beginning.
