Assessment Literacy - Micro-credentials

This stack of six micro-credentials is intended to help educators reclaim classroom assessment to propel meaningful teaching and learning.

At a Glance

Quality classroom assessment practices renew a focus on day-to-day, minute-by-minute learning that improves student outcomes. Through formative assessment practices, students know where they are in their learning, where they need to go and how to get there. Teachers have information they need to inform their next instructional steps. And families have more useful information to know how their student is doing in school.

Topics

  • Classroom Management
  • Professional Leadership
  • Student Learning

Outcomes

  • Create or revise a quality performance assessment, implement it in the classroom, and reflect on the process to inform further instruction.
  • Learn to design sound assessments that generate accurate evidence of student learning.
