Information for staff

1. Use of Checklist feature on Onstream: We have just had a new plugin added to Onstream as a feature that both staff and students can use.
This Activity allows teacher's to create a checklist/ to-do list/ task for students to work through.
Students are able to self assess against a number of Kaupapa (learning outcomes) for a lesson/unit of work. This is a great tool for setting milestones in achievement standards, and can also be set up so the teacher as well as the student can check that work has been completed.
Once a student has 'ticked' off an item, the student is presented with a bar showing what they have completed to date

2. Last month’s seminar on Assessment for Learning: Alfriston College DP Karyn White on different aspects of assessment for learning. It is always good to hear what other schools are doing in New Zealand.
