Making Sense of Educational Assessment: Bridging Research and Practice

Northeast & Islands | December 11, 2023

Resources

Time: 3:30–5:00 p.m. ET

Join us for a webinar to deepen your understanding of educational assessment in the context of innovative practices. While educators are involved in assessment on a regular basis, it can sometimes be challenging to determine which assessment to use under different conditions and contexts. This webinar will explore the different purposes, types, and uses of educational assessment, with a specific focus on considerations for assessing learning while implementing innovative educational approaches. National assessment researchers and practitioners from the Northeast & Islands region will share examples of educational assessment and participants will have the opportunity to ask questions.

This webinar builds upon a recently published REL Northeast & Islands factsheet, Making Sense of Educational Assessment.

Audience: District and school staff interested in learning more about educational assessment. Educators and policymakers engaged in educational innovation to improve learning and teaching will also be interested.
