2024 ROE8 Summer Institute

In this dynamic 50-minute workshop, educators delve into the critical process of designing standards-aligned assessments, distinguishing between formative and summative types for comprehensive student evaluation. The session begins with a foundational overview of educational standards, transitioning into hands-on activities where participants, working in small groups, employ templates to craft both formative and summative assessments tied to specific standards. This practical approach is enhanced with discussions on incorporating diverse question types and ensuring assessments are accessible and equitable, culminating in participants sharing their creations. Attendees leave not only with a deeper understanding of assessment alignment but also with tangible templates and sample assessments, equipped to foster more effective learning outcomes in their educational contexts.
