This committee will be meeting four times throughout the year, once in person and three via zoom. We will discuss and brainstorm assessment options that currently exist, analyze assessment options, view products and listen to representatives, and decide which assessment products to support going forward for 2023-24.

Although attendance at these meetings is optional for GRACE teacher leaders, we are asking that all subcommittee members have an awareness of when the meetings are taking place, read through all the meeting notes, and understand that we may solicit feedback from GRACE teacher leaders throughout this process.  If you are not a GRACE teacher leader, but would like to be on this subcommittee, please email Shauna Richards at scogan@sjsissaquah.org and/or Justyna King justyna.king@seattlearch.org .

Meeting dates/times and objective are listed below:

• Meeting One – November 14^th at 3:00pm to 4:30pm via zoom

We look forward to an interesting and fruitful curriculum process discussion this school year.
