Creating and Using Assessments to Develop Science Practices in STEM Learners

Saturday, April 2 • 9:30 AM - 10:30 AM

George R. Brown Convention Center - 342B


STRAND: Promoting Effective Assessments in the STEM Classroom

Show Details

Participants will engage in developing formative and summative assessments that connect students with science practices. We will discuss strategies for using performance data to inform instruction.

TAKEAWAYS:
1. Using assessment during instruction will help students focus on science practices in the curriculum, e.g., constructing explanations, scientific argumentation, analyzing data, and making informed predictions. Assessment after instruction will help measure mastery of skills and course content objectives; 2. Participants will learn and practice strategies for developing skills-based questions to use during and after instruction, and get a preview of data-analysis strategies that use question performance to inform immediate instructional interventions; and 3. Participants will build awareness of how to scaffold instruction and assessment to best support acquisition and reinforcement of skills.

SPEAKERS:
