Tiered Assessment Design
Assessment is usually seen as a single event, data point, or “grade” to report on student learning. However, this training will challenge this notion and show that assessments can be multi-faceted, tiered, and aligned tools that help us identify exactly what students know and where they may still need to progress.
Standards-Based Grading
Utilizing the roadmap of implementation the standards-based grading training allows educators the opportunity to examine, review, and revise their practices for identifying priority standards, providing objective feedback, aligning assessments, and clearly articulating progress and mastery.
Real-World Connections
Lesson planning with real-world application in mind is essential for a progressive classroom. Explore educators fostering partnerships with local and national organizations to bring real-world applications into their standard-aligned units.
Strategic Leadership
The reason the pendulum swings so widely in education is often due to a lack of focus. This training allows for a unification of principles and practices focused on essential priorities and goals for departments, buildings, and districts.
Trauma-Informed Practices
Due to trauma or chronic stress, students exhibit behaviors that manifest from fight, flight, or freeze tendencies. The trauma-informed and restorative practices training provides alternative systems to teach students how to reflect on the harm caused and restore what has been broken.
Depth of Knowledge
Being able to tier instruction to the level of thinking required of the standards while also recognizing the progressive nature of learning and the unique needs and desires of learners is essential. DOK training allows educators to gain insight into how to apply instructional strategies to move their students forward towards mastery.
