Students will develop a deeper understanding of how classroom-based assessment practices can be used to support learning in K-12 mathematics classrooms while also providing evidence of students’ achievement of curriculum outcomes. Drawing on current theory and mathematics education research as well as recognized assessment principles and standards, participants will design assessment practices to support the development of K-12 students’ conceptual understanding of mathematics and their identity as mathematics learners. The course will focus on planning and designing assessment practices in ways that increase opportunity-to-learn and enhance equity [3 credits]
