Program: Curriculum Instruction and Prof Dev

Audience: Any and all teachers

Dates: 10/20/2025 to 12/9/2025

How do you connect your instruction to assessment while keeping equity in mind? It gets overwhelming thinking about all the initiatives we are expected to do, what the research suggests and what we have time to do. By connecting instruction and assessment, we can become more efficient at finding out what students know, understand and can do. Some steps we can take are modifying assessments, providing accommodations, and adapting our instruction to better understand where our students are in their learning. We should be considering the needs of our diverse learners (neuro-diverse, culturally, linguistically, physically, economically, cognitively). These equitable practices contribute to a growth mindset, building hope and motivation while fostering each student's greatest potential. In this series, we will explore strategies to:


• Differentiate assessments based on the student's needs,


• Modify existing assessments,


• Utilize inclusive and best practices to support all learners, and


• Influence student motivation.
