During this practical two-day seminar, Judy Arter, Rick Stiggins, and Jan Chappuis will provide the knowledge needed to deliver effective professional development in classroom assessment. This capacity-building training also introduces the skills needed to build the classroom assessment portion of a balanced assessment system.
Who Should Attend This Seminar:
The Leading Professional Development in Classroom Assessment (LPD) seminar is for those who have interest and ongoing responsibilities for professional development in classroom assessment at the building, district, local, or state level.
What You'll Learn:
This seminar is designed to give you the tools you need to introduce the concepts of assessment quality to others and then to manage professional development with the book Classroom Assessment for Student Learning: Doing It Right—Using It Well (CASL) as the central text. We have two broad goals for the session:
| To prepare you to communicate to others about the CASL program |
| To prepare you to plan and manage a learning team experience for others |
To accomplish those goals, we will do the following during the seminar:
| Deepen your understanding of keys to assessment quality |
| Deepen your understanding of assessment for learning practices |
| Share resources you can use to offer an introductory presentation explaining the concepts of classroom assessment quality and assessment for learning |
| Share resources you can use to plan and manage professional development with the CASL text through learning teams |
Approach:
After using various models of professional development, ETS has centered on the use of learning teams, or study groups, as the most effective and efficient way to help educators become assessment literate. We have developed all our materials (training guides, books and interactive videos and DVDs) for this kind of adult learning, and encourage educators to move beyond our tradition of seeing professional development as a series of workshops.
Session Description:
We will spend the first day and a half deepening your understanding of the central concepts of the CASL text—the keys to assessment quality, the assessment/motivation connection, and assessment for learning. This will include practical activities that can be used in initial presentations and implemented in classrooms right away. On the afternoon of the second day, we will review the materials you will receive for facilitating learning teams and then give you time to outline an introductory presentation for your colleagues using ETS classroom assessment materials and your own expertise.
What You'll Receive:
| The book, Classroom Assessment for Student Learning: Doing It Right—Using It Well, by Rick Stiggins, Judy Arter, Jan Chappuis, and Steve Chappuis |
| The DVD, New Mission, New Beliefs, in which Rick Stiggins examines a new way of thinking about assessments and describes classroom assessment practices that will improve learning and help students succeed |
| A CD that includes all of the handouts from this seminar and all of the resources needed to conduct an introductory presentation |
| Learning Team Facilitator Handbook, a resource designed to support learning-team-based professional development around the text, Classroom Assessment for Student Learning: Doing It Right—Using It Well |
| A reduced price on the complete set of the seven ATI CASL training videos or DVDs recommended for each participating team—including two new titles |
