Guiding and Assessing Student-Driven Investigations

Thursday, July 8, 2021, 2:30 PM - 3:30 PM

When does a fun “activity” become deeper student-driven learning? And how can classrooms shift from teacher-directed to student-driven investigations of problems and issues that students are passionate about? In this workshop, Dr. Karin Hess will provide practical strategies based on her work with Depth of Knowledge (DOK), performance assessment, and student-centered classrooms. Participants will learn ways to support and deepen learning and how to design and use assessments that uncover thinking and promote collaboration and self-direction skills. (Note: Immediately before this session, Yvonne Aguilera and Joe Ibarra will offer a workshop incorporating a Flipbook by Hess.)
