Google Barefoot Learner Capabilities: How we are developing competencies for the real world - As with many educators I have grappled with the purpose of assessment for some time. It often feels as though we are subjecting our learners to tests and assessments that serve no purpose other than to generate an arbitrary score that could be quite different if they sat the test tomorrow, and yet these situations induce anxiety and stress for teachers, learners, and families. So a burning question for me is around the issue of assessment and measurement. Are we measuring the things that we value? Do we value that which we are measuring? For 9 years New Zealand teachers have been required to measure students in relation to ‘national standards’ for reading, writing, and maths. Late in 2017 New Zealand teachers and leaders were given an opportunity to rethink ‘assessment’ in our schools. During 2017 we took the 4 guiding principles of belonging, connecting, exploring and thriving, and broke them down into key skills and capabilities for our learners.

Wikipedia Innovation and Creativity...IMO | Push our Students to Try | Matt Zarb I don’t know about you, but I have seen this before. I have been this before. It’s an easy trap to fall into. Design has many names. “Why?” I see Innovation as the output of creativity. “Tell me how to do it?” “Well I could. And at times they do. Something needs to change. Innovation as a classroom subject pushes our students to think they can, rather than believe they cannot and then asks them to attempt things they may not have otherwise tried to do. Looking forward to talking more about this at the Leading a Digital School Conference….. Matt Zarb Reference: IB Design Guide © International Baccalaureate Organization, 2015
