Welcome

Welcome to the TEECH-LSC discussion group on classroom based assessments and professional development. This group will be co-moderated by Mack McCary and Brian Drayton, and will run for about 6 weeks. Please start off by posting a short message with your name & project, and a query you would like to see addressed. In addition, we strongly encourage you to find time to post at least once during this time -- it is fine to mostly listen and learn from the dialogue, but if everyone does it, there will be nothing to listen to!
Some questions that might get things started: In what ways do you use classroom-based assessments to shape your professional development program? What kinds of assessments do you make use of (e.g. standard tests, performance evaluations, portfolios)? What is the interaction between classroom assessments and external assessments? In your teacher professional development activities, do you have teachers design assessments, or critique assessments developed by others?
