It is self-paced, with an enrollment period of 60 days, which begins immediately upon confirmation of registration.

Description

This self-paced learning module is an eLearning experience that offers an in-depth look at South Carolina Teaching Standards (SCTS) 4.0 indicators that ask teachers to plan assessments that are consistently aligned with state standards and have explicit measurement criteria. Participants will explore the importance of designing assessments that measure student performance in multiple ways and will investigate effective ways to use assessment results. Participants will use guiding questions to create a PowerPoint presentation that details how they plan for assessment and evaluate their planning process as it relates to the course goals.
