Overview

Formative assessments are informal classroom assessments that inform teaching and learning. This webinar explores practical and powerful formative assessments tailored specifically for the ABE English language arts classroom. 

    Audience

    This professional development activity/course is designed for:

  • ABE and ASE ELA teachers and tutors of all levels and experience
Description

Whether they are formal or informal, formative assessments can—and should—be intentionally planned into lessons that target reading, writing, speaking, listening, and/or language skills. But how might formative assessments be efficiently incorporated into English language arts lessons in ways that give learners more control over their own learning and help you as the instructor know where to head next? 

Expand your repertoire of practical and powerful formative assessments and learn how to match them with your ELA learning objectives. 

You will receive two PD hours in LACES upon completion of this session.

Professional Standards Addressed: P1, P2

Please note: You cannot access this session from the SABES website. You will receive an email from Elena Ruiz of the ELA PD Team one to two days before the session with instructions on how to join.
