placemat

Joan's comments: I think an exit card is a good idea-Arlene can you provide and I also think gathering as a large group is important at the end of the session for debrief etc.

Jonathan adds: I don't think we need to meet as a large group at the end. For the placemat I think we should be directing the conversation a little more by asking principals to develop some look-fors for "an assessment rich school" based on their self reflections and their discussion in the session; if there is a recorder in each session for these look-fors, they could be collected and then later put together for everyone's reference. I like the idea of an exit card, and think that one of the questions should be "what is your individual learning goal." This will help the team for planning the next session in February.

Arlene: exit card created. And awaiting feedback ... Could we direct the group to have a recorder? I like a debrief but am concerned about rushing and would like to see the group time mazimized. I also like Alison's idea of an outside observer ... we could brief these persons prior with what to be watching for
