Imagining Possibilities in a Global Capacities Framework

Comments

Teams of teachers and administrators from public and private schools from the New York, New Jersey and Connecticut area convened last month for with Dr. Deb Sawch and Dr. Alison Villanueva of CPET at Teachers College to learn more about the power of e-portfolios to inform both short and long-term design and delivery of curriculum, instruction, and assessment. 

Participants used various 21st century frameworks, including the SEI Global Capacities Framework, to design their own e-portfolio pedagogies, supported by multiple software platforms and aligned with the skills and dispositions that students need for full participation in the world. 

Encouraged by this experience, Dr. Raina Kor, Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction at Irivington, NY Schools, expressed that "this was a chance to make more visible the dynamics of both teaching and learning and to provide ways to ensure that we are all accountable for how we  pose questions, investigate possibilities, and assess for understanding," said  "This is absolutely where we all need to go, and our team got the chance to imagine so many possibilities."
