Final Reflection


In terms of evidencing learning, what are you going to stop, start, continue and change?

STOP - What is not working or does not align with IB philosophy? (Something we should STOP).

START - What should we have in place to improve our assessment practices? (Something we should START).

CONTINUE - What is working well in terms of assessment and should be continued? (Something we should CONTINUE).

CHANGE - What is working to some extent and would benefit from minor changes? (something we should change)
