Making Assessment and Instruction Indivisible: Classroom Formative Assessment

Assessment isn’t just an event that takes place at the end of instruction. Rather, assessment experiences can be integrated into any lesson or activity and drive real- time instructional adjustments for teachers and real- time learning adjustments for students that increase achievement. Both teachers and students become data- driven users of ongoing assessment.

Participants will: learn the critical components of the formative assessment process and techniques that scaffold learning experiences that develop self- regulated, assessment- capable students that are in control of their learning, receive tools to guide conversations with teachers that encourage evidenced – based instructional decisions  that result in intentional teaching and learning, and learn how key formative assessment concepts enhance teacher practice that aligns with the Danielson Framework for Teaching. The book, Seven Strategies of Assessment for Learning, second edition, by Jan Chappuis, Pearson,2015 is included with the training.
