In this four part interactive webinar series, participants will learn
how formative assessment is a process for gathering information about
student learning while learning is still taking place and timely
interventions and instructional modifications can be made. In each of the sessions, participants will be guided through the key strategies of formative assessment and learn how to recognize and support the integration of assessment into instruction. All of the activities associated with the formative assessment webinars are supported by research and link directly to successful implementation. Addressing formative assessment specifically during the lesson-planning and instructional process is the most effective way to assure students receive targeted instruction to meet specific learning objectives and become actively involved in their own learning.
