Rob McAndrew's Work: 2/10 Meeting
I know I speak for others when I write, "Thanks, Rob," for offering your science portfolio project directions. We had an excellent conversation. Using the Critical Friends discussion model, Michael, Jeremy, Tom, Glen and I provided positive feedback and then questions/observations, all for discussion while Rob was the "fly on the wall." Then, he had a chance to clarify, add, disagree, etc. Great stuff.

I thought Rob's idea of a pilot project prior to refining his questions has merit. It may not be NEASCs way of doing it, but it seems to me that the assessment will ultimately be richer for the student and the instructor if they develop the assessment of the work out the students submitted in a pilot phase. They could shape stronger reflections questions through an open discussion, maybe even using the method we used in our meeting
What a great idea, Jeremy: create a lesson where, when creating the project's assessment rubric, you spend time brainstorming and crafting reflection questions--together, as a class.
Thanks for the ideas guys. I think I will get the ball rolling with a "pilot phase" and then modify the assignment from there. I like the idea of working with the students in developing a richer, more meaningful experience.
