How reliable and valid are your classroom assessments? Do they accurately evaluate student proficiency? This workshop focuses on how to align both formative and summative assessments with specific learning targets and performance indicators to better understand student strengths and weaknesses. In working toward better alignment, we often discover it necessary to tweak current assessments or create new ones - improving reliability and validity of grade data. Using an “Assessment Audit Tool,” participants will revise one of their current classroom assessments. A wide variety of exemplars will be provided.
