Section Five: Implications for Policy 49
• Why and in what ways will co-learning and facilitation be influential in teaching and learning in the future?
• What is an appropriate balance among the various purposes that assessment serves? These purposes include assessment to provide descriptive feedback that supports individual growth and progress as well as large-scale assessments that provide data for monitoring system performance and public accountability.
• How will we support educators in developing sound assessment practices – as outlined in the ministry document Growing Success: Assessment, Evaluation, and Reporting in Ontario Schools (2010) – that further our transformational goals for learning, teaching, leading, and assessing students’ acquisition of 21st century competencies for deeper learning?
