Old School vs. New School: Assessment LIMITED

Friday February 14, 2025 8:45am - 9:45am CST

M310 (THEATER) ANNEX

How much testing is necessary to respond to student learning?
How much is too much?
Does the way we test students help us gauge their understanding, or does it just tell us about their test taking skills?

These are the types of questions you can pose and answer in this session of our Old School vs. New School series!

In our first ever "Old School vs. New School" series, participants will be given the space and opportunity to discuss important topics in education. There are no right or wrong answers to these often sticky questions. We want to provide you with a chance to share your thoughts while also learning from others. Great things can come from engaging in discourse with other experts in education!

As an added bonus, the facilitators will be using interactive communication protocols that you can experience and then adapt to your own classroom.
