This course focuses on assessment literacy for the instructional leader as Illinois districts implement the CCSSM and the PARCC assessment. Participants will improve their ability to use appropriate assessments for designated purposes, analyze current assessments in their schools, understand high-quality assessments that measure deeper learning, and recognize and avoid common pitfalls when supporting the use of assessment data. Two key questions structure the course: “What constitutes a high-quality assessment?” and “What are we learning from assessment data, and how can we use it to support improved student learning?”
Breakfast will be provided.
