Dear Fellow Educator,
In today’s high-stakes world of student testing, the role of assessment has never been more important. Unfortunately, assessment is often looked at as only documenting results. But, it is so much more! It’s a coaching, nurturing tool that’s meant to guide, not just document deficiencies or proclivities.
In this unique two-day seminar, I’ll offer an engaging, provocative, and practical look at assessment and grading approaches in middle and high school level differentiated classrooms.
This seminar will equip you with dozens of proven assessment techniques you can use in all disciplines. These are authentic, varied, and formative styles of assessment—all connected to differentiated instruction.
Together, we’ll take a look at what an “A” really means, and if it is the same for you as it is for other teachers. We’ll examine what content mastery means in a differentiated classroom. I’ll even offer a way you can use the best evidence to measure your students’ performance against state standards.
The topic of assessment and grading can often be a “hot potato” with strong perspectives and viewpoints from teachers, parents, and administrators. During our time together you can expect this hot topic to be presented in a respectful and sensitive manner.
It is a pioneering time to be an educator, and differentiated assessment and grading are two frontiers critical to success. Don’t miss this chance to identify what really works and how you can shape the course of education for you and your students.
I look forward to seeing you.
Sincerely,
Rick Wormeli
