PL10,001G  Differentiated assessment in math and science, (k – 5) 2 PLU(s)

Create differentiated assessments that will excite and motivate your students as they master the Georgia Performance Standards. Learn how to design effective formative and summative assessments by using a wide variety of strategies. By completing a series of online activities, participants will create/revise a unit implementing differentiated assessments used in this course. Since this course is offered in an online format, participants learn and work at their own pace to complete the requirements for the 2 PLU(s). Led by Debbie Stuckey
