‘Interpreting Evidence of Learning’ Module Now Available for Social Studies and Reading & Writing

Each of these modules is designed to address the unique needs of interpreting evidence of student learning in reading and writing or social studies. Participants will learn about strategies for interpreting student evidence, engaging students in the interpretation and analysis of their own evidence, using student learning evidence to guide the formative assessment process, and identifying patterns in student responses that can inform teacher and student learning.

The “Interpreting Evidence of Learning” module is the fifth part in the Balanced Assessment series and is available on the Balanced Assessment Professional Learning Modules webpage. The module consists of a PowerPoint and facilitator’s guide and an additional PowerPoint and facilitators guide for a teacher collaboration activity. An overview video is available to provide orientation to all the components.

The first four components of the Balanced Assessment series were released during the first part of the 2020-2021 school year. In order to get the most value out of the “Interpreting Evidence of Student Learning” module, it is recommended to begin with the foundational modules linked below.
