The Third National Convening of Woodrow Wilson Teaching Fellows

What would your students do? Have you ever listened to a great presentation full of excellent ideas but left discouraged because you couldn’t imagine them working in your classroom? This is a discussion-based session which looks at the general topics of homework and formative and summative assessment in a high school math classroom in light of 1:1 technology and Common Core. I will share how I have maximized the effectiveness of homework, assessed every students’ learning daily, and created alternative assessments for struggling students. The session will encourage feedback and discussion regarding why these ideas would or would not work in your classroom, and will allow you to play the part of your students. You will also have an opportunity to share what you have learned about these topics from the successes and failures in your own classroom.
