The Assessment of Learning from a Distance Institute explores the role of assessment as it pertains to the landscape of distance learning. Led by authors of The Assessment Playbook in Distance & Blended Learning, this institute will explore new tools and formats that teachers can use to assess students’ understanding. These new ways of assessing learning will impact schooling for years to come as they are better and more authentic than many of the tools we had been using before the pandemic.

Part of a six-session series, this institute will explore Microteaching. Improving instruction and maximizing impact are primary responsibilities for school leaders. The question is, how can we spread highly effective approaches to teaching and learning around a school? One solution has been micro-teaching. In this session, we explore micro-teaching, allow for practice of this approach, and develop plans for using this tool to improve learning outcomes.

Based on Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, and John Hattie's title, The Distance Learning Playbook, this Institute, led by Vince Bustamante and Yana Ioffe, provides a clear plan for educators to be intentional and purposeful as we begin to re-open schools—whether that be physically or remotely. Building on key insights of the Visible Learning® research, attendees will explore the implementation of distance learning teaching practices that focus on credibility, creating learning experiences that are meaningful, and feedback that increases impact.
