Did you become an educator because of your love of test prep? We thought not! If you are interested in learning about engaging teaching methods that align with the skills that are assessed on next generation exams like the SAT, ACT, PARCC, Smarter Balanced, or independent state assessments, then this is the webinar for you.
Join Maureen Connolly and Vicky Giouroukakis, authors of the ASCD book Achieving Next Generation Literacy: Using the Tests (You Think) You Hate to Help the Students You Love, as they share how to develop meaningful learning experiences by focusing on the capacities of the literate individual and next generation assessments through the backward design framework. Practical, classroom-tested lesson scenarios and multiple strategies needed to foster student success will be provided.
