Learning Opportunities

Target audience: K-12 instructional leaders, pre-service teachers and teachers are encouraged to attend.

Join us for an engaging session that delves into the essential connections between feedback, grading, and the Building Thinking Classroom framework.

 This session will:

• explore theories, practices, and tools in assessment that accompany the Thinking Classroom pedagogy. 

• crack open assessment fallacies and re-evaluate our own practices and experiences within our day-to-day context, both inside and outside of school. 

• investigate improved practices that not only increase the frequency of feedback for learning and data collection, but also reduce teacher workload. 
• showcase and begin the design of assessment tools that suit your context to make it all happen. 

You will leave the session with knowledge, resources and tools that can be implemented the very next day.

This session will fully utilize the 14-practices of a Thinking Classroom, with tasks tailored to covering content in assessment. You will experience firsthand that a Thinking Classroom can not only enhance our experience in the classroom but is also effective in professional development with adult learners.
