The Roles
Our Approach to Exhibition • students choose a topic which they feel passionate and concern from any transdisciplinary theme • design the central idea and lines of inquiry for your topic (Key Concepts) • Participate in a whole class performance that celebrate the common themes of everyone’s work
How can parents help? Parents can: � keep informed about the process by reading newsletters
and attending meetings � support and encourage their children � provide knowledge or areas of expertise to any of the
groups (if requested) � help to locate resources – people, places, media and
information � be mentors � celebrate with their child’s learning by attending the final
the Exhibition.
How do we mark students work? “Exhibitions are the best way to measure learning because they put the kids right in the midst of their
learning” -Dennis Littky
� We assess the process more than the product. � The students should keep a journal throughout
exhibition that shows how their thinking and goals have developed.
� This journal may include pictures, diagrams, poems,
timelines and writing. � The mentors keep a record of group meetings,
discussions, ideas, goals and progress.
Assessment There will be a variety of assessment areas, each covering a different aspect of the Exhibition. These will be conducted throughout the entire exhibition journey and include formative and summative assessments of: � the Transdisciplinary Skills � the Learner Profiles and Attitudes � the Inquiry Process � the student journals � video journals � the final product � effort and participation
Who will mark the work? � students will self-assess and peer-assess
using collaboratively designed assessment criteria.
� the class teacher will also use the criteria to assess.
� students will reflect throughout the entire
exhibition journey.
� Parents and the community will reflect on the student’s work
