[Sabeswest] Classroom-based Assessment Workshop

[Dori McCormack]

How do you find out if your students are learning what you're teaching?  How do you find out what they're learning?  How do you involve them in finding out?  

Please join SABES for a state-wide workshop in which we explore these and other questions related to classroom-based assessment.  


INTEGRATING ASSESSMENT INTO 

CLASSROOM PRACTICE


Creating and Using Your Own In-Class Assessment Tools to Inform your Instruction

This three-hour workshop is designed to help practitioners develop assessments that will guide their practice. This workshop will include several presentations and activities that stress authentic assessment techniques. Other activities will demonstrate how students can be engaged in designing classroom assessments, including peer and self-assessments. The development of learning objectives and their connection to assessment will be identified and their connection to the Curriculum Frameworks will be presented.

Upon completion of this training, participants will be able to:

    a.. identify different ways to integrate assessments into classroom practice.
    b.. describe how assessments can be a tool for refining Learning Objectives and generating effective activities.
    c.. develop at least one form of authentic assessment (e.g. reports, long-term projects) and integrate it with a planned class.
    d.. integrate Curriculum Framework's standards and benchmarks in designing classroom assessments.
