Maybe you love your classroom assessment system or maybe you wish you could find something better. Either way, there are things about what’s under the hood of your system you may not know about. We’ll break down some measurement techniques and assessment practices—typically presented in a technical way—into user-friendly concepts.

This edLeader Panel will help you learn what questions to ask to uncover the information you need to know to select a system that helps your students learn more efficiently and effectively. Knowing the best questions to ask will help you navigate a conversation with your local team creating assessments or your assessment provider to ensure you have a winning system in place for your students, teachers, leaders, and families.

This edLeader Panel will be of interest to K-12 teachers and school and district leaders. There will be time for questions at the end of the presentation.
