Presentation Transcript

  1. Updating Conserve School Educational Outcomes May 2008 Workshop Week

  2. What are “educational outcomes”? What faculty expect students to know, understand, and be able to do after participating in a specified program of study.

  3. Why do we need outcomes? • ISACS requires us to have school outcomes • Our old outcomes have fallen out of use

  4. How are outcomes useful? • As a guideline for: • new program development • existing program revision • As a standard against which we can measure our curriculum and our graduates

  5. How did we create this draft? The Curriculum Mapping Committee reviewed: • NAIS standards • Other educational standards like the International Baccalaureate standards • The original school outcomes • Other reflective work produced by staff members over the past few years, for example, the list of possible school-wide essential questions brainstormed a few years ago

  6. Parameters • Fewer outcomes than the original list • Outcomes concrete enough to be useful • Outcomes that follow the “compass:” • Environment • Ethics • Innovation • College Prep

  7. General Framework • Learn (what we know – “book learning”) • Evaluate (how we analyze or judge – higher order thinking) • Act (steps we take in everyday life, guided by our knowledge and our analytical abilities) • Feel (commitments and principles we experience as deeply moving) 4 x 4 = 16

  8. Your Task • Gather in your interdisciplinary groups • Appoint a note taker and a time keeper (The time keeper makes sure you stay on track to review all 16 outcomes) • Review and discuss the draft outcomes • Make and record suggestions for fine-tuning

  9. Interdisciplinary Groups Group 1 Jeneen Xiaoyu Paul Pam Michael Joseph • Group 2 • Robert • Jennifer • Ricky • Bill • Mary Anna • Group 3 • Miranda • Jill • Jeff • Kathleen • Roger • Steve • Group 4 • Stefan • Zhongli • Cyndi • Andy • Nancy • Carol • Group 5 • Mark • Kathy J. • Sam • Michael • Joe P
