Geometry and STAAR: Using Formative Assessment to Prepare Students for the End-of-Course Exam
A one-day session
Fee: $279
Audience:
- Teachers
- Instructional specialists and coaches
The Dana Center's Geometry Assessments publication provides 43 performance tasks in seven categories, linked to the state standards for Geometry. This session is designed to show teachers how to use these Geometry assessments as a powerful tool for shaping effective classroom instruction through ongoing assessment.
This session will help you ensure that your students are prepared for success on the STAAR end-of-course exams. You will examine how the book's assessment tasks align with the Geometry state standards and end-of-course exam, and you will learn how to analyze and interpret student thinking and reasoning on the tasks. You will also collaborate with other participants to develop instructional strategies that lead to student success.
Participants will receive a copy of the Dana Center publication Geometry Assessments: Performance Tasks Aligned to the Texas Standards (2nd edition, 2007).
The Geometry Assessments book is available for purchase.
