Formative Assessment in a Brain-compatible Classroom:
How Do We Really Know They’re Learning?
If you are waiting until after you have planned your lesson to determine how you will assess it, you are already too late! Instead, as soon as you have decided what you want students to know or be able to do, the second step is to define how you will know when they get there. Furthermore, for your assessment to be as effective as possible, you must take into account the different ways of learning and knowing that students have (often called “multiple intelligences” or “gifts”).
This highly engaging workshop will deal with both traditional and more authentic forms for assessing those ways, since both types should be included in a student’s portfolio, in order to best enable their success in their college or career path. You will leave this session with over 50 products and performances to help you know if they are learning, as well as the methods (i.e., checklists and rubrics) for assessing them. This workshop has been called practical, informative, and a great deal of fun!
Some lucky participants will win a free copy of the book of the same name!
MAPs Testing
We will be starting our Middle of the Year MAPs testing this week. This is the schedule that was shared with you all before the break:
Please ensure you communicate with students to do there best and take their time for this administration. We're looking for students to show some growth from the first administration that will help us determine RtI groups. Reminder... please use the same accommodations for this administration that was used on the first test. If you have questions about accommodations, please let us know.
