Formative assessments are informal classroom assessments that inform teaching and learning. This webinar explores practical and powerful formative assessments tailored specifically for the ELA classroom in ABE.
- ABE and ASE ELA teachers and tutors of all levels and experience
This professional development activity/course is designed for:
Whether they are formal or informal, formative assessments can—and should—be intentionally planned into lessons that target reading, writing, speaking, listening, and/or language skills. But how might formative assessments be efficiently incorporated into ELA lessons in ways that give learners more control over their own learning and help you as the instructor know where to head next?
Expand your repertoire of practical and powerful formative assessments and learn how to match them with your ELA learning objectives.
