"In most classrooms I visit, teachers and students have in their hands the most powerful assessment tools for improving student learning that I have seen in more than 40 years as an educator: tablets and Smartphones. Used wisely and appropriately, these digital devices enable teachers and students to collect dynamic evidence of developing skills and competencies, as well as evidence of students; growing conceptual understanding." Damian Cooper
In this two-part workshop, Damian will invite you to engage in an inquiry involving some of his recent work with teachers as they embrace these innovative, powerful approaches, while triangulating their use of assessment strategies to match curriculum targets.
