Assessment Literacy for Teachers
One of the most common questions teachers have raised about emergency remote teaching during the pandemic had to do with how to design assessments that would give valid data about what students have learned. Since then, teachers have learned a lot about the centrality of assessment to effective instruction. What lessons are these and how can we apply these as we move forward to the next normal? What is assessment literacy and why should all teachers be assessment literate? It would be interesting to find out how assessment literate you are and how you can enhance your knowledge and skills in designing, selecting, interpreting, and using high-quality assessments to improve student learning. Find out how in this workshop!
At the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
1. Define assessment literacy and explain why it is important for effective teaching
2. Define educative assessment and discuss common current assessment practices in light of the principles of educative assessment
3. Design assessments that provide valid and reliable evidence of achievement of learning outcomes
4. Use the principles of constructive alignment to design examples of assessments for, of, and as learning that they can use in their classes
5. Identify success criteria for learning targets and explain how assessments and their success criteria can be used to drive instruction
