Participants will develop a deeper understanding of the use of quality science assessment tasks that support student learning. Participants will also explore how the NGSS dimension of Crosscutting Concepts support student reasoning about complex science phenomena. This course will dive into strategies that make formative assessment one of the best instructional strategies for increasing student learning. 

Join us in this three part course series where we:

Explore high-quality assessment tools and resources 

Deepen our understanding of the role of Crosscutting Concepts supporting student reasoning

Identify a Task to use with your Students
