Over the course of two sessions participants will learn the critical features that are needed to create a comprehensive assessment system. This will include learning about the role and functions of different types of assessments to inform decision making at the school and district level. The interactive sessions will also have participants reflect on the assessments they currently use in their district. They will determine if they have a robust process to select and deselect assessments. Finally, the participants consider how they have ongoing professional learning and family engagement opportunities and how they can enhance them in the future.
