TALECS 2017-18

Welcome to the space for TALECS PD with your hosts: Ken, Nicole, and Jennifer.

This PD is all online:  

• We kick off with a live online meeting and then follow up with several ongoing discussions for you to join each week.
• You will find all discussions and resources here (see below under Group Content).

There will be three month-long bursts of activity in October, January, and March. Participants will learn new ways to find out what their students understand—formative assessment. You''ll learn about

• Tracking what students are learning in your own teacher journal
• Creating your own assessment items like the PACT assessments--and rubrics to go with them
• Planning for student portfolios---what they should contain and what it all means

We'll be in touch soon about the schedule. Contact us at TALECS@sri.com
