PTA Meeting Thursday February 17 @ 6 pm

Staff, student, & parent perspectives on assessment @I.C.E.

Please join us tonight at 6pm for our meeting programmed by ICE PAC (Parent Action/Education Advocacy Committee.) We'll consider some of the ways that our school does and does not assess student learning. As a school in the New York Performance Standards Consortium, one of the most important ways that students at our school show what they know is via the PBAT, or performance-based assessment task. To demystify the PBAT we've invited our principal (Pete), a teacher (Josh), a current 12th grader (Elsa) and a recent grad (Owen) to join us on Thursday. They'll walk us through the nuts and bolts of the process and reflect on the value of the PBAT in the context of a larger educational environment that relies on standardized testing for student assessment. Members of ICE PAC will follow up that conversation by looking at historical and current developments in assessment and how these impact our children, our school, and maybe even us as parents. Hope to "see" you then!
