Last year, we hosted the first ever Mastery Week to share mastery resources and insights from across the country to help schools plan their communications strategies.
This year we will focus on mastery assessment, diving into specific topics within this category each day. Mastery Assessment Week will take place the last week in August, from the 27th to the 31st. As always, we encourage everyone to join the conversation using the hashtag #masteryweek and reach out if you have any questions or would like to deepen your participation: masteryweek@springpointschools.org
To organize the week, we are highlighting key questions and sub themes:
Monday - What can assessment look like in a mastery-based system?
Springpoint will open the week with a welcome post that explains the mechanics of the week and highlights resources and examples around creating and refining mastery assessment practices.
Tuesday - How are assessments designed in a mastery-based system?
reDesign will discuss approaches to designing individual student assessments. You'll hear about strategies for providing students with rich, actionable feedback and ways to align assessment touchpoints to high-quality rubrics.
Wednesday - How do you design a system of assessments in a mastery-based environment?
Center for Collaborative Education will explain how to build a system of assessments that gives a full picture of student learning. You'll learn how collaborative structures can create robust assessment systems at the classroom, school, and even system level. Virgel Hammonds from KnowledgeWorks will host a twitter chat on mastery assessment at 7pmET / 4pm PT using the hashtag #masteryweek.
Thursday - What changes with mastery grading and reporting?
Check out a wide range of perspectives and resources on the topic of grading policies--including norming practices, pacing and progress, and strategically structuring opportunities for assessment. And be sure to share your own tips, ideas, and questions on mastery-based grading.
Friday - Share out your ideas, resources, tips, and tools!
The week culminates in a massive resource sharing event, featuring content from all across the education field. Prepare your favorite resource or write a short thought piece to get involved in the conversation! Please reach out if you need ideas or have any questions: Masteryweek@springpointschools.org
