Shift-ED - Bonus Episode 2 - Competency-Based Assessment with Tom Schimmer

This bonus episode was recorded as the final session for the Greater Victoria School District's Secondary Assessment series in June 2021. In this 13 week series, Secondary educators engaged in a deep dive to explore competency based curriculum and assessment in relation to their personal teaching areas.  We relied on perspectives from across the field of competency-based assessment including borrowing frequent excerpts from the Ministry of Education's Secondary Assessment Webinar series that was hosted by Tom Schimmer.  

In this final session, we were fortunate to connect with Tom and hear his take on our series, his changing perspective on the role of feedback, and what the future holds for competency-based assessment practices.   We hear from educators who are asking Tom some excellent questions, such as what role does post-secondary have in the assessment transformation process?
