The Kansas State Department of Education is hosting “Connecting the Dots...For Learning,” March 3-4, in Manhattan.
This assessment conference will offer real-world practice sessions featuring teachers, teams, and systems from across Kansas who have embraced proven assessment practices to support teaching and learning. Teachers, leaders, and technical support personnel will learn more about how formative assessments are the foundation to a balanced assessment system.
The conference will feature Dr. Caroline Wylie, a national expert on formative assessment, the role it plays within balanced assessment systems, and the learning support that teachers need to engage in these practices with their students. Dr. Wylie has published multiple books on formative assessment including co-authoring Formative Assessment in the Disciplines: Framing a Continuum of Professional Learning, with Margaret Heritage.
