Technology is transforming the way we approach everything, including how we teach. This 21st Century Teaching webinar series will help you integrate innovative skills with critical subject matter—writing and math—and provide ways to create effective assessments under this new paradigm.

New Directions in Classroom Assessment

It’s a common adage that assessment drives learning. But for educators striving to integrate skills such as critical thinking, collaboration, problem solving, and digital communication into their instruction, how should assessment change? In this webinar, two recognized authorities on 21st-century teaching will discuss best practices on how teachers can create assessments that both reinforce and evaluate students’ learning in abstract and transformative academic skills. Presentations will explore advancements in assessment tools as well as offer practical examples of evaluations of student projects.
