REACHING ALL STUDENTS THROUGH AUTHENTIC MIXED METHOD ASSESSMENT
August 6, 2018  8:30 AM - 3:30 PM
 
All learners are different. They learn differently, think differently, and they come from different cultures and backgrounds. To get a real sense of who they are and how they are learning, Authentic Mixed Method Assessment (AMMA) gathers a wide range of evidence and synthesizes it into a rating that tells us whether a student is on track to be successful.  AMMA shows you in real time which learners need help the most and why. And it doesn’t take time away from high quality teaching – it enhances it.
 
Those evidence sources can include things like:
·   grades
·   tests
·   attendance and performance data
·   parent and student interviews
·   performance tasks
·   surveys
·   and all/any other piece of evidence that is important to learners in your district.
 
This workshop will dive deep into AMMA and provide clear and effective strategies for enhancing assessment for learning for and with all learners.
 
DIVING INTO DEEP LEARNING
August 7, 2018  8:30 AM - 3:30 PM

Deep learning results from the delivery of rich core content to students in innovative ways that allow them to learn and then apply what they have learned in new or different contexts. Deep learning design focuses on building the capabilities of Critical Thinking, Collaboration, Communication, Creativity, Citizenship and Character in learners, so that they are able to flourish in our increasingly complex global society.

Deep learning prepares students to:
 ·   know and understand core academic content
 ·   think critically and solve complex problems
 ·   work collaboratively and communicate effectively
 ·   become more self-directed
 ·   actively contribute to local and global communities

Come and experience deep learning in action. Learn how to design new and redesign existing lessons, and take away tools and processes that will help you provide more powerful learning experiences for your students.

These Workshops are also available individually: Events 71812 and 71828.
