EDU 525 - Developing Formative Assessment Practices in the Mathematics Classroom

Credits: 3
Prerequisite(s): Bachelor’s degree
Term: Varies

The course will examine principles and aspects of formative assessment with a focus on establishing conceptual based mathematics learning targets, gathering and analyzing evidence of students’ thinking related to the learning target, providing feedback to students and deeply involving students in processes that will help them move their own learning forward. Research review, discussions, in-class exercises, practical experiences and action research on the integration of these formative assessment aspects within mathematics instruction will be an integral part of this course.
