Summative Assessments

All year we have fostered a student-centered learning environment where you have been invited to construct and re-create your experiences.  I hope that your active learning journey has been a conscious one and that you've become a more reflective learner as a result.  To honour the personal and messy nature of learning, we believe that you need to be the primary authors of your assessment. The blog offers a forum where that assessment can be shared in its rich, complex, and whole state.   Here is your chance to reveal / make transparent your process by bringing attention and meaning to your emerging understandings.  When thoughtfully chosen, digital artifacts strengthen your posts because they not only serve as evidence but can crystalize a communication that words alone may not articulate. This learning is not limited to just your physical education but should consider all aspects of health.  Please invite your peers and parents to read and comment on your post. Thanks for sharing and I look forward to continuing our assessment conversation with each of you in person over the next two weeks.

If you are stuck, here are some guiding questions / themes to consider when writing your summative post.  These are meant to simply steer your conversation and not to limit it.

- Comment on your; attendance / punctuality / readiness to participate.

- Comment on any changes to your fitness.  Provide evidence of the change.  Reflect on why the change happened.

- Comment on how you contribute to our class dynamic?  What do you bring?  Give examples.

- Comment on what it means to you to be physically educated?  How are you ready for independence?

- Reflect on what barriers might be keeping you from succeeding a healthy, active lifestyle.  Troubleshoot those obstacles.

- Suggest a grade that attempts to reflect you learning / performance / understandings / contributions...
