Announcing the Summer Balanced Assessment Leadership Series
School and district leaders play a key role in supporting and designing a comprehensive, balanced assessment system and creating the conditions necessary for high-quality formative assessment practice. To support leaders in this work, the Kentucky Department of Education will be releasing a three-part professional learning series during the summer of 2021.
A professional learning module will be released each month and will include a PowerPoint and facilitator’s guide accompanied by an informational video overview. The release of all materials will be communicated first through the Standards Newsletter and made available on KYstandards.org.
