56. What is the difference between growth and evaluation?

Lyn explores a frequently-asked interview question: ‘What is the difference between growth and evaluation?’ Without getting too technical or scientific, Lyn explains how both are valuable when evaluation informs growth and the next steps for instruction.

55. Bringing School Improvement Work Together

Lyn shares an outstanding example of bringing school improvement work together by the staff at St. Joseph’s Wauchope, Lismore, NSW, AU. All staff ‘get it’ and are committed to fitting all the pieces of school improvement together to collaboratively achieve ‘Precision-in-Practice’. What’s the evidence? Teachers and students can answer ‘The 5 Questions’ in detail with examples! (CLARITY, 2019, pp. 59-64).

54. Technology as Enabler

Lyn and Michael Fullan explore what has been recently learned across the globe about the implementation of ‘Everything Digital’. Both educators realize that technology is an enabler, an enhancer and not an inhibitor. What are the Equity issues? How will that impact on standardized assessments that are only Summative in nature when we know Formative Assessment is ‘The Best’?
