Introduction to Balanced Systems of Assessment
2021-04-01 15:00 - 16:00
This webinar draws on the presenters’ extensive expertise and experience to help participants understand the rationale for balanced assessment systems by starting with clearly articulating the intended uses of assessment results. This webinar will introduce participants to the criteria for judging the balance of a system of assessments because even though districts have many assessments, it does not mean they have a balanced system. This also involves an honest appraisal of how well current assessments are meeting these needs. This first webinar concludes with a discussion of the barriers to implementing balanced assessment systems. In other words, there are many reasons why we rarely see balanced assessment systems in practice. Understanding these barriers is the first step in overcoming them.

The Critical Role of Curriculum and Learning Progressions in Balancing Assessment Systems
2021-04-13 15:00 - 16:00
This webinar focuses on the most important criterion—coherence—and how it can be supported with high-quality curriculum and learning progressions. We discuss the importance of curriculum and learning progressions as a foundation for assessment and assessment system design and, even more importantly, to provide an interpretative lens for making sense of the instructional power of assessment results. Relying on experts in curriculum, this webinar highlights the features that distinguish high-quality curriculum and learning progressions from lower quality processes and products.

The Components of a Balanced Assessment System
2021-04-20 15:00 - 16:00
There is an unfortunate “urban legend” about balanced assessment systems. Many appear to think that an assessment system is balanced when it includes summative, interim, and formative components. This is not true. This webinar discusses the key features of various types of assessments and helps participants understand how to evaluate components of an assessment system in light of the intended purposes and uses. We discuss, specifically, what it takes for assessments to be instructionally useful as well as the power of curriculum-embedded, unit-based assessments.
