NCME Equity & Assessment for Learning – Part 1 (September 2023)

Assessment for learning (Also known as ‘formative assessment’) can lead to profound changes in how students approach learning and substantial impacts on student achievement. Assessment for learning is a planned, instructionally embedded process whereby teachers and students communicate around goals and purposes for learning, monitor learning progress, generate feedback, then use this information to take steps to adjust future teaching and learning. Join us for a two-part webinar series to learn about how assessment for learning can be a powerful tool to enhance equity – conceptualized in diverse ways – within schools, classrooms, and with students.
