For the past six years, RSU 19 has been working hard to redesign its curriculum and approach to teaching and learning by offering a proficiency-based education. But in a system which separates work habits from academic knowledge and skills, how do we hold our students accountable in a way that encourages growth? Won’t students simply do all of their work at the last minute or—worse—avoid practice entirely and take their chances on the summative assessment? Have no fear; the Habits of Work are your friend! We’ll explore several efficient ways of collecting evidence in order to fairly assess students’ Habits of Work in a way that encourages growth while also holding students accountable for their learning.
Participants will leave with tools, resources, and understanding for collecting evidence of and utilizing Habits of Work to encourage students’ learning and growth.
