TCH76600 - Methods of Assessment

(3 units)

This course introduces classroom teachers to their day-to-day classroom assessment responsibilities. The priority is on the use of assessment to promote student well-being in a standards-driven school. Keeping the student in the middle of the process through student-directed parent-teacher conferences, stating learning targets in student-accessible terms, and cultivating the students’ academic self-efficacy are all addressed, as well as traditional assessment tools such as report cards and standardized state exams.
