Understanding New Science Assessments and Avoiding Common Pitfalls

The Next Generation Science Standards are not only a shift in instructional pedagogy; they are also a shift in assessment strategy. What does that mean?

It means a shifting from regular summative assessments to predominantly formative assessments. Formative assessment is a low-stakes tool for monitoring student learning, which helps both teachers and students identify strengths and weaknesses as they arise.

Watch this free 45-minute webinar and learn how to avoid the following pitfalls:

• Failing to differentiate the purpose of assessment.
• Failing to use assessment results to inform instruction.
• Using assessments that are not designed for next generation performance expectations.

Helpful tips and techniques you'll take away:

• How an assessment should unpack evidence of student learning.

• How authentic student experience takes the place of direct instruction in NGSS assessment.

• How to use formative assessment as a practical tool to support teaching and learning.
