Educational Assessment 101 for K-12 Teachers & Leaders
Free, open educational resources to promote best practices in classroom assessment and use of standardized test information in schools and districts across the United States.
We believe a strong understanding of educational assessment is foundational to high-quality assessment practices in classrooms. An educator becomes assessment literate by mastering basic principles of sound assessment design, implementation, interpretation, and use to meet the diverse needs of all students.
The purpose of these assessment literacy professional learning modules is to provide K-12 educators with the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to design, select, interpret and use assessments to make better educational decisions for students and, ultimately, improve student achievement outcomes.
Testimonials
"I was so excited to find the classroom assessment modules your team put together as we are currently working on creating assessment professional learning coursework." ~District Leader
"I wanted to reach out to provide some positive feedback about your Formative and Summative Assessment modules. I am using them in a graduate course on special education assessment that I am teaching this summer, and I have been impressed with how helpful they have been in fostering student learning. Most of my students have little to no educational background and as such, they were not even aware of the distinctions between formative and summative assessment. Kudos to the NCIEA team for creating these terrific resources!" ~ University Faculty
