Assessment and Grading to Support Learning At Home

Accurate and ethical assessment and grading can be challenging in the best of circumstances, but now with the sudden turn to remote instruction, teachers are scrambling to respond thoughtfully to equity issues, apply effective practices, and get accurate reports of students’ learning. Join us for a candid and provocative, virtual PD session on the basic principles and practices of modern assessment and grading as they apply to our new teaching reality. We’ll explore how to finish out the current year, and what to consider for next year as well.  We’ll offer up-to-date research and advice from North American experts on assessment and grading, practical solutions to challenging situations, and bust a few myths along the way. Don’t miss this chance to get clarity and assurance on one of the most impactful decisions teachers ever make, especially now, in this challenging time!
