Professional Development

Our PD Approach

High quality formative assessment practices take time to develop; our team is here to support that development. We offer in-person workshops, virtual PD, and 1-on-1 coaching calls. Our PD doesn’t just focus on Short Answer. Using Dr. Dylan Wiliam’s Embedded Formative Assessment as a foundation, our sessions take a holistic approach to formative assessment. Sessions empower teachers with the actionable takeaways, practical skills, and tools necessary to apply research-backed approaches to formative assessment in their classrooms.

Such a cool tool and to hear from teh creator and know the research is just so refreshing!" The third says "This was by far the best session I went to. The concept of comparative judgment is super helpful." The 4th says "Amazing session! I cannot wait to share with teachers in my building!"
