Formative Assessment

Ongoing assessment is part of this project and will help focus attention and effort of the students. The project is designed so that the students will take charge and are self-regulated learners. The students will develop, redefine and apply problem solving strategies while the teacher is seen as co-learner, guide and facilitator. As the project develops, the students will also take on the role of guide and facilitator. Ongoing feedback from peers and teachers, will occur on a regular basis as the students work their way through the problem. With the students in flexible groups, the teachers will be able to converse with the students and help them with the reflective process as they work through the problem.
