We hope you have had the opportunity to join us in our institutes - the Curriculum Academy in April, the Effective Schools Conference at Lake Okoboji in June, and most recently the Fall Institute with Jan Chappuis. She shared with us her latest books and seven strategies for formative assessment. Many schools attending are choosing to use her work to help their building move forward with the role formative assessment can play in instruction for learning.
Continue to visit our site, please, and our conferences for the latest information in helping you move forward with learning in your district. The brochure information for the Curriculum Academy has been posted on our web site. We are collaborating with the Wallace Leadership Foundation of Iowa, directed by Troyce Fisher, to offer the two-day institute focused on the functions of the work of central office in supporting principals as they seek to increase student success. Please download the brochure for the April 14-15, 2010, Curriculum Academy by going to "Downloads" and selecting the document under "Conferences and Brochures." You are able to download each page separately as you wish.
