This session introduces key retrieval practices such as spaced repetition, interleaving, and elaboration. Participants will learn about these techniques as well as how they can be applied using techniques the program Obsidian. The workshop is designed to familiarize teachers with these concepts and guide them in implementing retrieval practices within Obsidian. You will walk away with a scientifically supported study technique that is guaranteed to improve student learning and understanding.
This session explores how small shifts in our thinking about assessment can transform math classrooms from grade-centered to learning-centered environments. By replacing traditional tests with student portfolios, we promote a culture of growth and reflection, empowering students to take ownership of their learning. Participants will discover practical strategies for implementing portfolios and learn how these changes can lead to significant improvements in student engagement and understanding. Come ready to rethink assessment and explore the big impact of small changes!
Outcomes: 1. Understand the Benefits of Portfolio-Based Assessment in Mat Attendees will explore how portfolios can showcase student growth, reflection, and deeper understanding, moving beyond traditional tests.
2. Learn Practical Strategies for Implementing Math Portfolios Participants will gain tools, templates, and methods to integrate portfolios and student reflection effectively into their math curriculum.
3. Foster Student Engagement and Ownership in Math Learning Attendees will discover ways to enhance student voice, motivation, and continuous improvement through alternative assessment techniques.
