Building a Literacy Assessment Toolbox
Free Webinar
Thursday, March 11, 2021
4:00pm - 4:45pm (EST)
In today's varied and sometimes unfamiliar learning environment, how can we use formative assessment to address literacy learning gaps and support student growth?
Formative assessment has an essential role in meeting these challenges, now more than ever.
Join us for a collegial conversation about building your assessment toolbox through:
- a consistent, ongoing plan for formative assessment.
- self-reflection.
- collaborative professional dialogue.
- responsive instruction.
- support for student growth and teacher agency.
- a data collection and analysis process that aligns to a shared vision of literacy instruction and student learning goals.
A strong plan built from this toolbox can foster a school community or culture that values continuous professional learning and shares a vision for nurturing thoughtful readers, writers, problem-solvers, listeners and speakers.
