Overview
What are some ways to collect evidence of student learning to inform how to optimize or improve teaching and instruction? How can you measure student outcomes to ensure learning objectives are achieved? What are some strategies to develop assessments as learning opportunities? In this interactive online workshop, we will discuss assessment planning through the lens of collecting data, making decisions, and developing learning opportunities. We will also discuss how to ensure alignment of assessments to learning goals and objectives. You will leave the workshop with strategies for designing effective and equitable assessments.
After participating in this online workshop, you will be able to:
- Examine the purposes of assessments, including how assessments provide opportunities for interaction, practice, and feedback.
- Differentiate between formative and summative assessments.
- Describe how to create aligned assessments using backward design.
- Identify strategies and tools for designing assessments.
