UPCOMING Formative Assessment Systems EVENTS
May 18 2022 - Webinar - “Leveraging Assessment & Evaluation for Student Success: Working Smarter Not Harder.”
EvaluATE. May 18, 2022.
Abstract: Often professional development projects skip assessments because participants don’t want to take tests. However, assessment done well is integral to participant learning and creates a culture of information exchange leading to more effective professional development and measurable impacts. In this session, you will learn how to integrate assessment into your professional development to boost learning for your participants and their classroom students, while simultaneously generating evaluation data. Everyone engaged in designing, delivering, and evaluating professional development will leave this session with ideas and access to tools that will help you leverage learning and deliver the data you need for reporting.
July 25-28, 2022 - Poster - "Formative Assessment: Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in ATE Professional Development,
2021." HI-TEC 2022 Conference, July 25-28, 2022. Salt Lake City.
Abstract: The 2022 ATE PI Census Survey includes two question sets developed by the Formative Assessment Systems for ATE 2 project: “Assessment of Professional Development Activities for Educators” and “Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion in Professional Development Activities for Educators.” The purpose of these question sets is to identify, explore, and understand how ATE projects and centers incorporate high-impact educational practices and attention to issues of diversity, equity, and inclusion into their professional development activities. This poster presents a “first look” analysis of the survey responses that PIs and evaluators may use to better shape their formative assessment and evaluation practices.
