In this episode of The Learning Curve ECSD, titled "A School Wide Approach to Assessment," we dive into a transformative learning journey undertaken by a school that has embraced Teacher Clarity, specifically Learning Intentions and Success Criteria, as a school-wide assessment approach.

In Part 1, we begin with the principal, Nicole Thomlinson, who takes us behind the scenes of leading this initiative. Nicole discusses the motivations and vision behind implementing Teacher Clarity school-wide, and how it aligns with the school's commitment to student-centered education.

Throughout this enlightening conversation, Nicole highlights the importance of strong leadership and effective communication in driving change and fostering a collaborative learning culture among staff. She touches upon the strategies employed to engage and support teachers, ensuring that everyone is on board and equipped with the necessary tools to implement Learning Intentions and Success Criteria effectively.
