 Educators must ensure they are teaching students what they need to
 learn. Common Formative Assessments are the most effective way to
 learn those needs in order to inform instruction. In this two-day
 seminar, teachers and administrators will learn to collaboratively
 develop, test, and refine common formative assessments in order to
 gain reliable and timely feedback on student progress in order to
 adjust instructional practices appropriately.
 
 Audience: District curriculum leaders, K-12 teachers
