EDU-386 Assessment in Elementary Education

Assessments; both formative and summative, and traditional and authentic, are critical to measure students' progress and attainment of learning outcomes. When crafted and implemented well, they cannot only effectively evaluate but also enhance students' learning and teachers' instruction. This course is designed to help students understand the importance of valid and reliable classroom assessments to support student learning, the interplay between classroom assessments and larger scale assessments, and how to gather and make sense of classroom assessment data. Students will also learn how to lead a process of sense making of student assessment data for instructional decision-making by school teams. Co-requisite: EDU-386P.
