This workshop will focus on the nuts and bolts of assessment.  With years of assessment experience working with the NY City public schools, Russell will make this workshop practical, doable, and fun.  Assessment is about improving practice.  So, whether you are a classroom teacher, teaching artist, school or cultural administrator, this session will introduce practical assessment strategies to meet your goals and objectives.

Wednesday 3:30-5:00

Conference Strand: Core Knowledge

Educators, Artists, Organizational Administrators, Educational Administrators, Community/Parents: The outcomes are the same for each role group.  The workshop is designed to address each participant based on their current understanding of assessment.  I make no assumptions.  Outcomes include; building a common assessment vocabulary, designeing an essential question, data collection, analysis of data, developing evidence, writing a report, and sharing lessons learned.
