Do you want armed police officers stationed at ICE during school hours? If your answer is no, consider signing on to this letter to stop pending legislation that would make that a reality at ICE and all NYC schools. The bill, s6798, passed the Senate and is awaiting a vote in the Assembly.  See here.

 

Here's the letter.

Panelist Sign-Up for I.C.E. PBATs & Presentations

At I.C.E, we believe that Performance Based Assessment Tasks (PBATs) and project-based Interim Assessments (IAs) are authentic and meaningful ways for students to demonstrate their mastery of content, skills, and metacognitive thinking. The PBATs and  IA presentations showcase student learning at many points along an ICE student's education, occurring throughout the 6-12th grades. For these assessments, we value the role of external evaluators (YOU!) to help create an authentic environment for assessment of our students’ understanding and invite you to join our faculty and student peers in assessing students’ abilities to present, explain and defend their academic work.

Participation does not require prior content knowledge on your part (with the exception of the 10th grade Spanish Graduation Requirement), and clear directions will be provided to all evaluators. An ICE teacher will also be with you to help guide the process.  Please click on the link below, browse the presentation events listed,  and sign up based upon your interest and availability.  

There are NO limits to the number of PBATs or  presentations that a parent may sit on!
