Alternative Assessments: A Look at Innovative Ways to Improve Instruction

This session will explore different ways effective teachers assess their students’ learning that go beyond the typical standardized tests. What should we assess? How do we craft different assessments for different purposes? How do we use assessment data to benefit our students and how should students use data to chart their own progress? A major focus for this strand is investigating varied assessment tools and strategies and how we can maximize their use to guide our instruction and benefit all learners. Come join us to share your experiences while adding new knowledge, understanding, and skills to your teaching repertoire.
