Rethinking Student Assessment: Collecting Authentic Evidence of Learning

Date(s): 10/3/2024 — 10/4/2024 ● Status: Open

Explore new methodologies for collecting evidence of meaningful, authentic student learning and comprehension.

It’s time to think about your school’s approach to assessment—that is, how you measure evidence of learning and achievement. Join us in an exploration of common student measurements, like multiple-choice tests, timed writings, worksheets, and other basic skills tests as we rethink how to collect authentic indications of student learning.
