Description

Now more than ever, it is vital that teachers work together to build their collective expertise in the practices that matter most for increasing student achievement in both remote and in-person learning. In this 3-day program, participants learn how to facilitate teacher teams that focus on a four-step formative assessment cycle to accelerate student achievement, engagement, and motivation in these tough times, including:  

1. Clarifying learning targets so students know what they are learning, why, and what success looks like
2. Planning for and infusing formative assessment practices and tools throughout their instruction
3. Analyzing formative assessment results frequently to identify strengths, gaps, and errors in student thinking
4. Planning for and taking timely, targeted action to provide feedback, re-teach, re-group, and extend learning

In short, they use data frequently and in-depth to make sure that each student succeeds.
