Exploring Design and Implementation Strategies for Technology-Mediated Professional Learning for Teachers in Support of Embedded Formative Assessment
About this event
Time: 9:00 - 3:00 PDT (each day)
Description: This two-day event is co-sponsored by the Arizona Department of Education and the Educator Effectiveness Alliance at REL West. The overall purpose of the full two-day conference is on expanding the implementation of embedded formative assessment in Arizona's classrooms. Specifically, the workshop will strengthen Arizona administrators' understanding of the design and implementation of blended (online video/in-person) professional learning on this topic. By collaborating with REL West EE Alliance leaders, the ADE officials involved will subsequently be able to guide other school and district leaders around similarly innovative professional learning approaches in 2018 and beyond.
Audience: The audience for this event includes Arizona administrators responsible for designing professional development opportunities for teachers in their schools or districts, with recruitment facilitated by the Arizona Department of Education and the Association of Arizona School Administrators. Possible role groups attending include assistant superintendents, professional development coordinators, directors of curriculum and instruction and/or technology, principals, coaches, and other teacher leaders. Approximately 60 to 80 educators are expected at the conference.
