Portfolios? Work samples? Personal interviews? There is no ONE method to assess and document the dynamic growth and development demonstrated by our youngest learners. Having embarked on a focused journey towards identifying effective, appropriate, and informative methods, Ana will share the AISB's experiences of trial and error, collaborative conversations, and technological experimentation.

Assessment tools and documentation strategies will be shared that have proven both helpful and effective as well as unrealistic and ineffective within our classroom environments. Participants will be actively engaged in discussions with a goal of creating a bank of strategies accessible to all who join in the conversation.
