Day 2 Strand 2 Session 4
Using Science Interims and Formative Tools Data to Drive Instruction
In this session we will take a deep dive into the formative and interim portions of our state balanced assessment system for science. Participants will leave with clear information about how to access and use the available interim assessments within science instruction, an understanding of the state efforts to support formative assessment in science, and how to participate in ongoing development and training efforts.
