The Lighthouse Diary #39: Review and Evaluation

While the Academic Team is wrapping up the remaining tasks and requirements for Academic Year 2021-2022, my staff and I are preparing for summer in-service training, an inventory work that is two years in the making and the design of instructional plans for hybrid learning in AY 2022-23.

I am looking at a full calendar.

Part of the preparation is the review of content and database subscriptions. We are looking at and assessing Odilo School this week; then Odilo Academic next week. Subject teachers are always part of the review process. I often invite the language and literacy skills teacher, the sciences teachers and the art and humanities teachers. They have provided good feedback which help in decision making.

Apart from our review of databases and online digital libraries, the research proposals of students on the Extended Essay and Senior Project are up for assessment this week.

Let me share with you a graphic organizer I presented to one of our students who recieved feedback from teachers who sat in her presentation. The idea map is aimed at providing the student a direction for the inquiry at hand. By mapping the relationship of ideas given the criteria and guidelines of the subject, the student is aided to look at sources of information useful to answer his/her inquiries.
