Formative and Summative Assessment Practices

District Leads: Heidi Neltner

Strategic Plan: Individual Student Growth

PGP Alignment: Planning & Preparation, Instruction

In grades 3-12 enhance instructional practice and assessment with digital tools like Schoology Mastery, Diffit, Pear Assessment, Nearpod etc. The focus will begin with backward planning and creating a comprehensive assessment map.

We will consider summative assessment building using Schoology and Pear Assessment, as well as performance assessments that leverage real-world, student-led projects like those in the Student Technology Leadership Program (STLP) through the Creative Digital Arts projects (CDA). These authentic assessments are evaluated using a single-point rubric, promoting clear expectations and meaningful feedback.
