TDC - Performance Assessments For the Professional Educator - VIRTUAL

Course Description

This course is an introductory course on basic performance assessment concepts and approaches.  The course follows the approach of Judith Arter, Jay McTighe, Richard Stiggins and Grant Wiggins in creating a knowledge base for effective performance assessment in the classroom.  It will focus on student-involved classroom assessment, including a holistic approach that develops the relationship(s) between standards-based assessment, curriculum, and instruction.  The primary focus of the course will be to help each student develop a classroom performance assessment portfolio appropriate for his or her professional situation.  The personalized classroom performance assessment course will include research-based, but practical strategies that are highly effective in improving student academic performance.  The course will include development of clear instructional targets and their assessment, and a basic knowledge of a variety of assessment methods.  Enhancing student motivation and engagement will be a reoccurring theme throughout the course.  This course will introduce Response to Intervention and Curriculum Bases Measures as they apply to the regular education classroom.
