Join us for a week of webinars, Sept. 22–25, to learn how to lean into students’ individual strengths and make a bigger impact. We’ll explore the importance and effect of asset-based assessments, as well as strategies for helping teachers differentiate instruction, reach all learners, and plan interventions with confidence.
The Importance and Impact of Asset-Based Assessment
Monday, September 22, 4 p.m. ET
What happens when we highlight students’ assets instead of deficits? When we move beyond student thinking to student thinking plus performance? Join this webinar to explore asset-based assessment—what it is and how it makes a difference in K–12 math classrooms.
Strategies for Differentiation in K–5 Math
Tuesday, September 23, 4 p.m. ET
Join Kristin Gray, math speaker and co-author of the new Teaching Mathematics Through Problem Solving K–8, Expanded Edition, as she unpacks differentiation strategies for young learners.
The Benefits of Asset-Based Assessment for All Learners (Including Those With Learning Differences)
Wednesday, September 24, 2 p.m. ET
This session advocates for asset-based assessment in K–12 education, focusing on the importance of viewing students through a strengths-based lens rather than a deficit perspective. We’ll also highlight the role of this approach in celebrating diverse learners, shifting the focus to what students can do and fostering a growth mindset that supports success for all students. Practical examples will help educators implement these strategies in their own classrooms.
Educator Panel: Using PLC Time to Create a Strong MTSS for Math and Literacy
Wednesday, September 24, 4 p.m. ET
Hear from educators across math and literacy as they talk about assessment, intervention, and using professional learning communities to create a strong Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS).
Introducing mCLASS® Math: An Asset-Based Benchmarking and Progress-Monitoring Assessment System
Thursday, September 25, 4 p.m. ET
Don’t miss our finale of Assessment and Intervention Week! After using the week to talk about the strategies and benefits of asset-based assessment, we’ll join Kelly Serpa Howe, Ed.D., to dive into the new mCLASS Math and how this program opens a window into student thinking and supports conceptual understanding, all while maximizing valuable planning and instructional time.
