Twitter Chat: Assessment of STEM Education
Guest post by Project Lead The Way
The five W’s of measuring student growth and learning in STEM Education
Measuring student growth and learning has gained a significant amount of national attention in recent years, for better or worse. What are the best ways to assess STEM learning? There is tremendous value in discovering what students are learning in the classroom, how they are growing as individuals and future engineers, and how we can better prepare them for the global economy.
At Project Lead The Way (PLTW), we support the use of balanced assessment in the classroom. We see this as a win-win for teachers and students. By taking this approach, teachers can make instructional changes, and students have the opportunity to lead their own learning. By using a variety of assessment types in the classroom, we can promote higher student achievement and measure growth and learning.
Let’s clear the air on what it really means to measure student learning and better understand the many benefits that assessments can provide. Let’s talk the who, what, when, where, and why of measuring student learning in STEM education.
On Wednesday, April 2, 2014 at 8pm EDT, join PLTW, Big Beacon, and a group of talented experts and educators who are passionate about measurement for
