Parkway Mission & Vision

Me & the Parkway Mission After reading the district mission statement which feeling do you most identify with? –Excited –Nervous –Unsure –Sad Do you see yourself in the mission?

HPE Department Mission The Parkway Health and Physical Education Department is committed to preparing students to live healthy, productive, and physically active lives for the 21 st century. Our mission is to provide students with the knowledge, skills and attitudes necessary for living active, fit and healthy lives. Ultimately, it is our goal that our students will take personal responsibility for practicing good health habits and for engaging in regular physical activity, so as to develop them into students who are ready to learn today and prepared to be productive members of society tomorrow.

Thinking Like An Assessor What evidence can show that students have achieved the desired results (Stage I)?What evidence can show that students have achieved the desired results (Stage I)? What assessment tasks and other evidence will anchor our curricular units and thus guide our instruction?What assessment tasks and other evidence will anchor our curricular units and thus guide our instruction?

Thinking Like An Assessor vs. Activity Designer ASSESSOR What would be sufficient and revealing evidence of understanding? Given the goals, what performance tasks must anchor the unit and focus the instructional work? What are the different types of evidence required by Stage I desired results? Against what criteria will we appropriately consider work and assess levels of quality? ACTIVITY DESIGNER What would be fun and interesting activities on this topic? What projects might students wish to do on this topic? What tests should I give, based on the content I taught? How will I give students a grade (and justify it to their parents)? How well did the activities work? How did the students do on the tests?

Three Basic Questions 1.What kinds of evidence do we need? 2.What specific characteristics in student responses, products, and performances should we examine? 3.Does the proposed evidence enable us to infer a student’s knowledge, skill, or understanding?
