Skill Up! End of Year Science Assessments (CATDC Online)

May 19, 2020 3:00PM—4:00PM

Cost FREE FOR MEMBER SCHOOLS

ABOUT THIS WORKSHOP

In this session, we will take a closer look at our end of year assessments in this unprecedented time. Questions to be addressed include:

How can we facilitate quality assessments that are fair and equitable?
How do we leverage the constraints and opportunities of online and distance learning to optimize engagement and encourage synthesis?
How do we create authentic assessment activities that include active learning, growth and choice for students?
What role will rubrics, feedback and reflection play in our final assessments?

Participants will have ample opportunities to share ideas and resources as well as their own challenges and successes with evaluating learning in an online teaching environment.

This free workshop is only available to CATDC Member Schools.
