Join me in the NMS Professional Development Center A306 on Thursday, March 20, 2014 at 3:00 p.m. for a Free Webinar: Learn to Develop Rich Assessment Tasks with Jay McTighe.
"In this webinar, we’ll explore a set of practical and proven design tools for developing quality performance tasks based on Jay McTighe’s new LumiBook, Core Learning: Assessing What Matters Most. Such tasks provide more than simply another method for measuring learning—they embody the most important goals of the Standards, while engaging students in meaningful learning.
The Common Core and Next Generation Standards call for students to apply their learning in authentic ways—e.g., to “closely” read complex texts, develop and critique arguments, solve “messy” problems requiring sound reasoning and perseverance, and engage in scientific inquiry.
These goals demand concomitant assessments that call for more than making a selection from given answers in a selected-response format. Richer, more authentic tasks are needed."

Below is a link to sign-up for a free webinar. This would address Stage 2 of our UbD Curriculum Unit design process, but I thought it might be of interest to you as it relates to your Stage 1 work this year and for the Stage 2 work we will focus on next year. I have already signed up, so let me know if you are interested in being a part of this meaningful and free Professional Development opportunity!
