CANCELED: NESSC School Redesign in Action

The Student-Centered Assessment Network (SCAN) is a networked improvement community (NIC) of teachers from Central Falls, East Providence, and Westerly (RI) high schools and is supported by a hub of researchers and coaches. SCAN teachers identify problems of practice and design and test change ideas in Plan-Do-Study-Act (PDSA) cycles of improvement. Together, we are studying the use of student-centered formative assessment to increase student agency, engagement, and academic outcomes. We are also working to improve planning and measurement processes, and to increase the value of collaboration across schools in the network.  

In this session, we will share highlights of our three-year journey together including the most current versions of our planning documents, ideas about measuring the impact of change ideas, ways we collaborate across schools, and some of the promising formative assessment practices that we have developed and refined. We will invite you to consider how what we share might support your own improvement efforts.
