NCFALCON Module #1: Importance of Formative Assessment
The Guiding Mission of the NC State Board of Education "is that every public school student will graduate from high school, globally competitive for work and post-secondary education and prepared for life in the 21st century." This "looks like": Critical Thinkers and Self-Directed Learners.
What does your department BELIEVE is OUR role as high school educators in helping our kids achieve this goal? (please do not talk about the student's role...discuss our role as educators). Describe at least five ways YOUR department plans to help our kids accomplish this mission. Also describe what "critical thinkers and self-directed learners" looks like in your classrooms.
