Assessment For Learning Are students learning
moreor less?  Student minds, are they growing or
simply regurgitating? If I send this report card
home, parents are going to kill me arent they?
What am I doing?  If you are looking for the
answers to these questions, I might be able to
help. In this session, you will have the
opportunity to look at how I have attempted to
juggle curriculum, assessment and technology in a
grade six classroom.
