Emphasis is placed on responsible and culturally responsive assessment, effective communication of results to families and colleagues, and the integration of assessment into daily classroom practice. Students will use technology to collect and analyze data, engage in collaborative assessment partnerships, and examine how observation and documentation inform equitable and inclusive teaching strategies.
