Student-Led Assessment: Promoting agency and achievement

  • - Students need academic vocabulary to reflect and set goals for success.
  • - Teachers need to partner with students to learn more about what kids know and can do. Too much of learning isn't visible.
  • - Building systems into our classrooms that empower students and promote agency offers equitable learning experiences for all students.

Session Description

The world is changing, and the way we assess must change as well. Giving students the language they need to speak about their learning, areas of strength, and challenges offers unique opportunities for educators and students alike to partner in impactful learning. In this session, we will explore ways to empower students through portfolios and conferences as a means for teachers and students to truly personalize experiences.
