Pre-Session - Formative Assessment and Equity
Conference Rooms 1 & 2
Presenter: Christina Mulhollan Miller, Coordinator of District Innovation for Charles County Public Schools
Ensuring equity in education is a necessary component in narrowing the student achievement gap. This course will focus on moving professional learning to professional practice. Grounded in the belief that collegial instructional discourse contributes to school improvement, participants will create look-fors, while meeting with their PLCs, and while visiting classrooms within their school community. These classroom visits will provide colleagues with meaningful feedback, aimed at improving teacher practice around the formative assessment process. The visits to classrooms are non-evaluative in nature. They are focused on helping to create an equitable learning environment for all students, that will help both the observer and observee.
