HOW DO I GRADE THINKING? - PLUS - DISTRICT TEAM PLANNING

INSTRUCTOR(S): Cris Tovani -Keynoter and Marilyn Heifner & Melissa Moe, CESA 11
GRADE LEVEL: 4-12
 

It is often hard to gauge what students know especially when they become skilled at “playing the game” of school. During this session, participants will discover several ways to assess understanding and teach thinking. Cris will share how she uses formative assessment to guide her instruction and improve student achievement. Teachers will learn different ways to plan, differentiate instruction, and hold students accountable for accessing difficult text.

 

This session will provide participants with 2 days working with Cris Tovani and will continue with 2 days of facilitated district teamwork for purposes of designing units and lessons that utilize the instructional practices shared by Cris. Middle school and high school teams with cross-content representation will find this session useful for instructional planning.
