A Successful Weekend Workshop 
with Carolyn Coil

Carolyn Coil, an International Consultant for Assessment and Differentiation, presented a weekend workshop at Brent International School Subic last August 29-30, 2015. In this two day workshop, staff at BISS  explored the many facets of assessment for students as they build the skills they need for the 21st Century. The faculty were encouraged to create their own assessment rubrics, criteria cards and design units with assessments that focus on the 4 C's - Communication, Collaboration, Creativity and Critical Thinking. 

The first day of the workshop focused on defining different types of assessment, developing progress monitoring forms, assessment criteria card, and writing rubrics. The second day of the workshop focused on examining and assessing 21st century skills. Everyone was encouraged to take part in interactive demonstrations and discussions. 
The different faculty departments are currently working on various assessments, rubrics and units that highlight the 4C's. 

Some comments from the workshop survey were:

  • "The workshop helped me use my creative side as well as build my critical thinking skills in coming up with various assessment strategies!"
  • "The criteria cards are really interesting and useful in performance based assessments."
  • "I loved the hospitality of the host school!"
  • "I enjoyed hearing the speaker's 'story'; She was a good storyteller and related to classroom experience. Lesson planning formats were well explained at a good pace. Letting us 'road test' the plans was great for me."
  • "The culture of collaboration in the school has improved!"
  • "I learned that I can use De Bono's 6 thinking hats even in Pre-school!"
  • "I love the Encounter lesson, 6 Thinking Hats, Questivities and Scamper!"
  • "The Coil Progress monitoring sheet is something I will be using extensively for my struggling students! Well done!"
