Are you wondering what your science students really understand and can do? Join our learning series for quick 30 minute assessment snacks that will help you to draw out evidence of student learning in innovative ways. Each of our 5 sessions will have a different topic. Feel free to join them all, or drop-in for topics most interesting and aligned to your practice.

 

Participants will leave each session with:

  • Strategies for triangulating data from observations and conversations for accurate evaluation
  • Common assessment language to describe assessment processes to students and families
  • Tips and tricks to help students become agents of their own learning story
