Design assessment for learning and drive student engagement and academic achievement. Gain holistic assessment methods and tools for both summative and formative assessment in the classroom, and transition to a mode of assessment that truly reflects course curriculum and student progress.

Learn why classroom assessments should become the primary method for formally measuring student learning and how to revamp them to ensure validity and reliability.

Accurately report students' academic strengths and weaknesses with standards-based grading.

Learn how to design, interpret, and systematically use three different types of formative assessments and how to track student progress and assign meaningful grades.

Teaching in the standards-based classroom requires significantly more than simply knowing the standards. A true focus on standards in the classroom requires a teacher to understand multiple elements of a standards-based learning environment, including planning, instruction, assessment, and feedback. This session will present a thoughtful and logical approach to planning for and delivering a high-quality opportunity to learn that increases the potential for students to acquire understanding of the knowledge and skills included in standards. Participants will walk away with information, insights, and ideas as well as a plethora of resources for use in their own classrooms.

This 2-Day Workshop will emphasize the importance of starting with the rationale and process for prioritizing standards in standards-based grading rather than starting with the grading system.

Join our lineup of acclaimed experts to learn how your school can achieve the highest levels of effectiveness using the High Reliability Schools framework.
