Formative Assessment in the Math Classroom

This course will focus on learning about and supporting the implementation of assessment practices in the mathematics classroom, particularly formative assessment practices that promote student ownership of learning through the sharing of learning goals and monitoring progress towards goals through peer and self-assessment. We will be using resources developed by Cheryl Rose Tobey, Susan Creighton, and Emily Fagan, from the Educational Development Center (EDC).
