Formative and Summative Assessment Practices
Measuring what matters for student progress and uncovering unfinished learning is vital now. You will learn strategies for building community through formative assessments whether students are at home, in the classroom, or hybrid. All skills are transferrable. Learn appropriate and equitable formative and summative assessments for all your students through this online series of distance instruction courses offered by the San Mateo County Office of Education (SMCOE) in partnership with the San Mateo County Community College District (SMCCCD). To date, this course has improved participant confidence and readiness to teach in remote learning for more than 600 teachers in San Mateo County.
This series includes five synchronous sessions with distance learning experts with experience designing and implementing formative and summative assessments that can be utilized for all students in all environments. There are three grade bands to choose from for all sessions: K-2, 3-6, and 7-12, running parallel or simultaneously.
