Assessment Literacy for Teachers is a comprehensive program designed to equip educators with the essential skills and knowledge required to effectively assess student learning and enhance educational outcomes. Participants will engage in project-based learning that fosters interaction and collaboration, allowing them to apply theoretical concepts in practical settings. By the end of the course, educators will be prepared to implement diverse assessment strategies that align with curriculum goals and support student development.
The curriculum emphasizes hands-on experience and encourages participants to publish their findings in Cademix Magazine, promoting professional growth and community engagement. Topics covered include the design and implementation of assessments, data analysis for informed decision-making, and the integration of formative and summative assessments into teaching practices. This program not only enhances teaching methodologies but also prepares educators to navigate the complexities of assessment in a dynamic educational landscape.
