The FA Moves framework introduced in this series will open up new opportunities to help teachers and students recognize, evaluate and use “soft data” that emerges during and across a set of lessons. It invites all to drive towards deeper learning with an open, visible classroom-based formative assessment process committed to continuous improvement.
By offering practical tips, video-based examples, worksheets, and templates, you will have the tools you need to make progress–minute by minute, day by day–with assessment for learning practices rooted in research and what works.

DESCRIPTION
This learning path focuses on how district and site leaders can establish a strong foundation for this next normal in education (key actions for fall 2021 and beyond). The pandemic has been chaotic, and yet brought to the forefront student equity issues and surfaced innovative educational approaches. Whether school districts have re-engaged in person, in hybrid models, or remained in distance learning, the challenge ahead will be the same for all; navigating the complexities of ensuring equitable growth in student learning.
Developing capacity to lead a coherent system of continuous improvement is foremost a shift in mindset and an ongoing process that is hands-on and long term. However, district and site leaders can engage in learning opportunities that set the stage for enacting systems leadership to achieve equitable growth in student learning.
