Mr. D's Schedule

ACES Hall of Fame, Course Overview, To Do List

Student Outline

[ACES Culture]

I ask three things of my ACES (for most other things I'm usually flexible):
1. Drop everything, stand, and face any teacher or adult visitor that enters the room,
2. Do not eat in the lab. With permission you may go into the hallway for a quick bite, and,
3. Keep the doors of opportunity open by looking (and speaking) your best.

Growing Success, p. 29
Responsibility, Organization, Independent Work, Collaboration, Initiative, Self-Reliant Growing Success. p.11.

It is worth noting, right from the start, that assessment is a human process, conducted by and with human beings, and subject inevitably to the frailties of human judgement.
However crisp and objective we might try to make it, and however neatly quantifiable may be our "results", assessment is closer to art than science.
It is, after all, an exercise in human communication.

Knowledge: Subject-specific content acquired in each course (knowledge), and the comprehension of its meaning and significance (understanding).

Thinking: The use of critical and creative thinking skills and/or processes, as follows:

planning skills (e.g., identifying the problem, selecting strategies and resources, scheduling)
processing skills (e.g., analysing and interpreting information, reasoning, generating and evaluating solutions, forming conclusions)
critical/creative thinking processes (e.g., problem-solving, design, and decisionmaking processes)

Communication: The conveying of meaning through various forms, as follows:

oral (e.g., role play, discussion, presentation)
written (e.g., design briefs, work orders, technical reports)
visual (e.g., technical drawings, flow charts, graphics)
