Professional Development at Urban Assembly High School of Music and Art

Moving from a pilot project to outcomes-based assessment for grades 9-11 at UAMA

Teachers and school leaders at Brooklyn's Urban Assembly High School of Music and Art spent a day reflecting on the pilot implementation of EASE and planning for the coming year's implementation. Two teachers who have worked with the EASL approach reviewed their experiences during the spring term and the effect on their teaching The agenda included a review of learning targets, which gave teachers a chance to evaluate and critique some samples from other schools.  They worked together in discipline teams to begin to think about the learning targets they would use with their classes in the fall.
