Book Study: The Power of Formative Assessment
CEUS (45 Clock Hours)
This course is designed to provide educators with an opportunity to engage in a PLC Book Review of Transformative Assessment in Action by W. James Popham. To earn course credit, read the book and engage in one of three assignment choices to share your learning. Book studies allow you to read engaging researched-based books and consider how to incorporate the concepts into your own practice. A great approach to the course is to form a PLC with your peers so that you can collaborate as a group. Discussion options are also part of the classroom so that you can discuss your learning with teachers from all over the world.
The course is targeted for educators in the K-12 grade levels, including special education, counselors, administration, sports coaches, and instructional coaches. Parents will also find this course helpful.
