The quality of the task matters significantly. The quality task yields quality evidence of what students know, the misconceptions they have, and what teachers might do next. But what is quality? In this session, participants investigate characteristics of quality tasks for gathering evidence of student learning. Participants apply tools to evaluate tasks and learn about strategies for creating and modifying assessment tasks. Participants will apply what they learn in this session for the upcoming March session.
This learning opportunity is being offered through a grant from Alberta Education.
