module 2 - Foundations of NGSS Assessment

Module 2 - Foundations of NGSS Assessment  introduces and provides time for participants to use various tools and processes to build a foundational understanding of NGSS assessment and equitable assessment systems.

  • Session 2.1 - A Vision for Classroom Assessment and Performance
  • Session 2.2 - Develop 3D Learning and Assessment Targets through the Unpacking Process
  • Session 2.3 - The Role of Phenomena and Sensemaking in Instruction and Assessment
