Practical Assessment in Your Classroom
Building on an understanding of foundational assessment principles, this one-day, interactive workshop for teachers will explore the ins and outs of assessment that is classroom-situated and therefore teacher-directed. We will dive into the roles of assessment, evaluation, and grading and clarify their purpose, uses, users, and consequences. We will also explore research-based strategies for classroom assessment (including feedback and peer and self-assessment) as well as practices for ensuring alignment among curriculum, instruction, and assessment. Participants will have time to create an assessment plan for an upcoming unit and to apply what they’ve learned to a teacher-generated assessment of their choice.
