This resource will introduce you to the "Student Work Study Initiative." Participants in this initiative will explain the origins, rationale and nature of SWST work, as well as the deep professional learning that has occurred as a result of this comprehensive way of looking at student work. SWS teachers articulate what a SWST-like stance means and how it enables them to make student thinking "visible" for "students of mystery". Their focus on the "why" we do what we do incorporates the triangulation of data and the use of technology as part of the formative assessment process. Viewing the Student Work Study teacher's moderate their theories of action or "suppositions" allows us to understand the precision which characterizes their work. You will hear how they reference current research to clarify and extend their thinking.--Curriculum Services Canada website.
