thank you Magyar - and all of you from the list who contributed so helpfully to this. A special thank you to David Jaques who phoned up and discussed the ideas with me - and who sent through some very helpful resources. Please find attached a power point that could be used for a staff development session on Alternative assessments (I've added Magyar's bits even though not on my original slides). I hope I have given all the ideas that I've used credit (on the end slide). If I have used your idea and left out your name - do please get back to me! And if any of you use the power point in a staff development session, please do let me know how it goes?
