AUDIENCE: HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS ARE ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND.

In this session, high school teachers and administration will focus on the purpose of grading and how it relates to instruction.  They will understand the value of clear learning targets and rubrics in the instructional process, as well as the role of student self-reporting, power of ownership and engagement in assessment by creating assessments that have meaning to the instructional process.  Lastly, participants will focus on the role of formative assessment in schools and how this fits into instruction.

Through exploration of these critical components, Myron will provide a clear and practical picture for what it means to grade smarter, not harder in our schools. Participants will be actively engaged in collaborative discussions and will receive materials and information that will help guide them in this process and walk away with several steps on how to practically incorporate these concepts into their classrooms, schools and districts.  The goal of the full day session is to equip participants with the mindset and tools to answer questions about these topics and ensure success for all learners.
