Audience: Educators in NYS Religious and Independent Schools

Dates: 10/18/2023 to 11/1/2023

"One Size Fits All" a phrase that we are all familiar with but may find challenging to avoid when designing instruction. Innovative teaching and assessment practices are not always that obvious. All educators want what is best for their students; independence, success, perseverance, and understanding. Standards-Based learning provides transparency to your students, their families, and your administration in order to communicate clearly what students have learned and need to practice. Join us for a three-part series to develop a better understanding of standards-based learning and learn how to take initial steps toward creating a task that is leveled, based on a learning standard, for your students to demonstrate their learning. This series will be led through the lens of a secondary math-content teacher, however the concept of leveled learning is applicable to teachers in all content areas and grades.

In our first session, we will work through evidence-based practices to unpack standards, identify "levels", and share assessment practices to begin making your classroom a place for aligned and effective learning.
In our second session, we will examine how evidenced-based practices are the first step toward transitioning into a standards-based learning environment, or at least helpful to begin differentiating on a deeper level for your students' learning needs.

In our third session, we will be discussing formative vs. summative assessment, an area that all educators could continue learning about.
