OVERVIEW

When we see the word “assessment,” most of us think of formal tests, especially end-of-course exams or standardized tests required by educational institutions, or what has been called “assessment OF learning.” But we can actually assess in many ways, both formally and informally, and for many different purposes.

Some of the most important assessments involve “assessment FOR learning,” where we get an idea of how our students are truly doing in class and what we might need to review with some or all of our learners to ensure their success.

In this webinar, Dr. Crandall will discuss and demonstrate both formal and informal assessments that can be used for a range of purposes. She’ll provide:

• examples of engaging, developmentally appropriate assessment activities
• a set of guidelines for using informal assessments for learning
• idea for encouraging our learners to assess themselves
