Please join us for this (10) part workshop series focusing on data.  Participants can choose to participate in the whole series or sign up separately for individual sessions.  All sessions will meet live via Zoom.  

This data series is designed to focus on the “what, why, and how” to leverage formative assessments and their resulting data within classes of participating teachers in strategic and consistent ways to start the conversation and begin to effect change. We will norm set together on why this is needed to help us achieve our long-term goals through daily feedback-decision loops, what we can do strategically, and how we can integrate our goals, strategies, instruments, data processing, and teaching practices. Then we will iteratively develop, test, and refine formative assessment instruments and data processes for interpreting the assessment data. Through hands-on activities, reflection-based discussions, and implementation planning time we will expand the tools in our assessment toolkits and build our confidence and enthusiasm for assessments and data.
