A question that all administrators and educators ponder is: How can we learn what students know and are able to do on every grade level? This workshop is designed to support teachers as they discover the power of common assessments and how they can transform their teaching practice.
Participants will learn to choose appropriate test items, set rigor levels, and reap benefits like consistent progress measurement and improved teacher communication. Additionally, educators will engage in hands-on collaboration to craft grade-level and content-specific assessment items, exploring details like "distractor" development and fairness. Through this work, participants will discover how to leverage planning time for enriched assessment processes and utilizing data for informed instructional decisions. By the workshop's end, participants will possess the tools and knowledge to implement common assessments effectively, elevating teaching and leaving a lasting impact on student learning.
