Assessing Writing Across Grade Levels and Content Areas

 

This in-depth workshop will guide participants through types of writing, common barriers to writing, and different types of writing assessments. Additionally, we’ll dive deeply into feedback: teacher-to-student, peer-to-peer, and student self-reflection. Participants will leave the training with a vision for writing assessment in their classroom, school, and/or district.
