More about this Course...
In this practical and thought-provoking webinar series, educators will explore the essential relationship between learning goals and assessment. We’ll move beyond seeing assessment as a final step, and instead view it as a central part of the learning process. Participants will dive into formative and summative strategies—including quizzes, projects, dipsticking, and reflective tools—and learn how to match them to clear learning objectives. Special attention will be given to designing meaningful rubrics and delivering feedback that students can act on. Teachers will also gain techniques to communicate expectations clearly and to create assessments that promote ownership and growth. Rooted in the second stage of Understanding by Design, this course equips educators with the skills and mindset to assess with purpose. Whether you’re a classroom teacher or informal educator, you’ll come away with practical tools and a renewed vision of how assessment can empower both teacher and learner.
