EDCS-528 Content and Assessment

Effective teachers assess student knowledge before, during, and after instruction in order to collect feedback, and understand how and when to adjust teaching and learning appropriately. Purposeful formative and summative assessments may improve student achievement and challenge students at their instructional levels. In this course, participants will explore ways to engage students in collaborative learning, how to monitor student learning, the role of self-assessment and progress monitoring, and how authentic and performance assessment can improve content knowledge, learning, retention, and application.
