EDU 530 - Planning and Summative Assessment Practices to Meet Learning Expectations

Planning and Summative Assessment Practices to Meet Learning Expectations is a one-semester course, designed for the practicing teacher. Teachers will explore their own summative assessment practices to better align them with learning expectations. They will use backward design to develop summative assessment tools rooted in district, state or national standards, and assessment practices that intentionally encourage students to take responsibility for their learning. This course is designed specifically for practicing teachers in the K-12 system. Participants will consider their own current practices as they strive to ensure their work with students in all facets is rooted in the learning expectations. This work includes developing specific summative assessment tools and a classroom assessment system. Teachers will give specific attention to ensuring their assessment tools are valid and reliable. They will practice providing meaningful feedback and involving students in the assessment process. Participants will share experiences and practices with each other, discuss and reflect upon relevant readings and apply learning in classroom settings.
