Assessment for Learning October 21, 2014 Heather Rottermond Sandy Riley

Today’s Learning Targets I understand the five keys to quality assessment. I have a clear understanding of the commitment for this work for this year including meeting dates, expectations, and my role as a facilitator. I understand the process for setting up my team for success. I understand that part of this process is building relationships within and across districts for the purpose of deepening my knowledge of assessment literacy and building my own support network.
