Audience: Upper Elementary and Middle School English Teachers
Mrs. Connie Hadba, English Teacher and Curriculum Coordinator
February 26, 8:30 – 14:00
After a written or oral assignment is given,
how will it be assessed? Too often we put off deciding on the assessment of the
task until later. Yet students need to know what teachers consider important
when they do an assignment.
This workshop will look at the rationale for using assessment lists and rubrics
to evaluate student performance and why it is important to provide this
information to students when the assignment is given.
Participants will identify scoring criteria, look at the format and learn the
rudimentary steps for developing assessment lists and scoring rubrics for
written and oral assignments. They will also be given the opportunity to develop
their own assessment list for a written and oral assignment.
Participants are encouraged to bring a sample of a writing or oral assignment to
use during this workshop.
Audience: Middle and Secondary School Language Teachers

Mme Amal Charara, assistante à la directrice
Mme Jocelyne Kobeissy, chef du département de français, école complémentaire
5 février, 8:30 – 14:00
Le souci de tout professeur étant de varier les
supports afin d'atteindre toutes les compétences des élèves et de relier son
enseignement à la vie réelle, le "PT" ou "Tâche à accomplir" est une activité
conçue et orientée dans ce sens. En effet, à travers une approche systématique,
l'élève apprend à appliquer les connaissances acquises dans un domaine
particulier à une situation réelle. Cette tâche peut être accomplie de manière
individuelle grâce à une grille d'évaluation détaillée, l'élève apprend aussi à
corriger, améliorer puis évaluer ou noter son produit final.
Ce type de tâche peut être utilisée en évaluation formative ou somative, à
l'oral ou à l'écrit.
Public visé: Professeurs de français du cycle complémentaire
21. Comment fixer un objectif pédagogique en argumentation
M. Roger Naba'a, Coordinateur de français
5 février, 8:30 – 14:00
Il en est de l’argumentation comme de tout objectif
pédagogique (désormais : OP), et pour en fixer un, il faut le « travailler »
selon deux mouvements qui doivent se couler l’un dans l’autre : conceptuel et
pédagogique. Or des élèves destinataires de la formation étant absents, on
travaillera en laboratoire, sur le cas de l’argumentation.
1er principe : comme le disait ce bon vieux Hegel, « ce qui apparaît à la fin
est toujours au commencement. » Partir donc et toujours de la compétence
terminale qui, dans notre cas est double, quoique organiquement complémentaire :
lecture d’un texte argumentatif/production d’un texte argumentatif.
2nd principe : appliquer à la compétence terminale la « logique d’entonnoir »
qui va du plus vaste (la compétence terminale) aux « plus petits » (les
compétences requises pour réussir la terminale : les spécifiques, les
intermédiaires, les micro…).
Public visé : Professeurs de français du cycle secondaire

47. Improving Reading and Writing Skills in the Science Classroom
Miss Rima Khishen and Mrs. Nahla Jamaleddine, Science Department, Middle School
February 26, 8:30 – 14:00
Most teachers agree that active reading and writing skills are essential for learning science concepts. However, science texts are often more challenging for students than other text types. Compounding the problem is the fact that some science teachers often lack the expertise and interest in teaching reading and writing. As a result, students receive fewer opportunities for these practices, and a critical science instruction tool goes unused.
This session aims at sharing techniques that we have tried and that helped our students improve their reading and writing skills.
Audience: Upper Elementary and Middle School Science Teachers
48. Assessing Students' Laboratory Work
Mr. Nizar El Mehtar, Chairperson of the Chemistry Department, Secondary School

However, any lab experience would not be fruitful unless it is assessed in a meaningful way. The aim of this workshop is to propose and discuss with participants a set of criteria for meaningful assessment.
