National Exhibition Month 2010
May 1 - 31, 2010 Everywhere, All states In Your Schools, Nationwide
Join the Coalition of Essential Schools in a nationwide campaign to promote and celebrate exhibitions as a preferred form of student assessment!
National Exhibition Month is a nationwide campaign to promote and celebrate exhibitions as a preferred form of student assessment. Throughout the month of May, schools across the country will participate in activities that make their exhibition work public and advocate for the use of exhibitions in their local contexts.
This is a step-by-step guide for participating in the campaign. Please use these ideas and sample documents as beginning points for devising events that suit your particular situations, resources, and opportunities.
This guide includes:
Ways to Create a Successful Local Event
Exhibitions/Performance Assessement Advocacy Action Kit
You can help the CES Network execute a successful National Exhibition Month and contribute to the improvement of these materials by documenting your school’s activities and sending us summaries, photographs, outreach materials, or newspaper clippings from your events. We will share and add them here during May and June to shine the light on the ways performance-based assessment and exhibitions provide the best ways to assess teaching and learning.
Thank you for supporting exhibitions and for participating in this year’s campaign. Good luck with your National Exhibition Month activities and we look forward to seeing reports and photographs from your events.
