How you can create learning targets that are clearly defined and direct your teaching? Then this three module workshop “Using Assessment in Instruction” can help. This course will address:

- Monitoring Student Learning and Providing Effective Feedback
- Self and Peer Assessment: Student Reflection to Deepen Learning
Research shows that regular and high-quality formative assessment in the classroom can have a positive effect on student achievement. There is firm evidence that strengthening the frequent and effective feedback that students receive from formative assessments lead to substantial learning gains. In addition, the perceptions of students and their role in co-creating success criteria and assessments have a significant impact on student performance. Students who can self-assess their own work are more motivated to learn.

There are a million workshops on how principals can use the Danielson Framework and other similar frameworks to IDENTIFY areas of growth—how to hold pre-conferences, measure proficient from developing teachers and so on and so on. This is NOT that. CLU’s Online Professional Development is a tool that can and should be used by both administrator and teacher. It provides evidenced based and field proven strategies on what to do and how to do it. It is a one stop shopping- no need to go looking in different places to fill the need- it’s all in one place 100% aligned to the rubric.

There is a lot to be said regarding your positivity towards teachers that will make the videos well received. Your tone is spot on, feeling that the guidance is aimed to improve and hone skills, and build more effective methods and pedagogy for instruction.
I could see this purchased by districts with a few applications. For instance, districts could use the online PD as training for staff. As an orientation tool the online PD would be great. It’s something I would have loved to watch with my mentor teacher.
