Developed in partnership with the Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ), this learning path will explore strategies that support students and staff with readiness to learn, develop, and excel.

Classroom-based professionals and those who support them will benefit most from these modules.

CTQ Formative Assessment

DESCRIPTION

Developed in partnership with Center for Teaching Quality (CTQ), this learning path will focus specifically on strategies for assessing student- and classroom-level needs for academic or socio-emotional supports. The emphasis is on helping students recover from COVID-related learning loss, disruption, or trauma and strategies allow for implementation in virtual, hybrid, or in-person classrooms. However, concepts apply to ongoing practice in any context or learning mode. Leaders working as teachers, support professionals, or other roles focused on classroom-level supports will benefit from this learning path. Coaches, school administrators, and others charged with supporting teachers will likely also benefit.
