Dear All,
I would also like to add my two cents about how
much I enjoyed this year's conference. I had the
pleasure of attending several sessions which caused me
to say "If this had been the only workshop I attended
the whole conference was worth it". The organizers
made sure that the choices very varried and suitable
to many tastes, and one was given the opportunity for
personal as well as professional enrichment. To all
involved many thanks. (And if you have not sung "I am
a Pizza" with Barry - you just don't know what you are
missing!)
The only thing that I felt was lacking was a
response to the many questions about the new Bagrut
modules. I realize that there were a few attempts and
the constraints of time did not allow for as much
interaction as many of us would like. I do think that
these issues must be addressed and am greatful that
this mailing list gives us a forum.
I do think that the idea of modules is a good
one, but it is beyond me why such an important exam
has such a limited number of questions for the
students to answer. I think that English teachers have
always paved the way for new advances in teaching such
as alternative assessment and student reflection. It
is therefore difficult for me to accept that we do not
give our students the option of choice in the format
of this new testing method.I don't think that there is
any other Bagrut exam that so limits the students in
such a rigid framework. We are encouraged by the
Ministry to consider our students various learning
styles in our teaching. Is it so impossible to do the
same in the official testing?
Have a wonderful summer.
Best, Ariella Kopels
