Creating a thoughtfully designed process.

Designing Reassessment That Works

Reassessment can support learning without becoming overwhelming for teachers or a free pass for students. The key is having a thoughtfully designed process.

In this interactive, full-day workshop, participants will work through the key decisions that shape an effective and manageable reassessment process. Rather than simply learning about reassessment, you will have dedicated time to examine options, consider tradeoffs and make decisions that fit your classroom, school or district.

Throughout the day, we’ll tackle practical questions around who can reassess, what students should do before another attempt, what evidence should be reassessed, how reassessment is scheduled and managed, how new evidence impacts a grade and more.

Participants will apply the learning as they go, using practical tools, examples and guided work time to build a new reassessment process or strengthen an existing one.

You’ll leave with:

Concrete decisions about how reassessment will work in your context
A clearer, more manageable reassessment process
Practical tools and strategies you can use immediately
Solutions for common challenges around accountability, workload and implementation
A copy of Reassessment That Works to support your continued work

Whether you are a classroom teacher developing your own approach or a school or district team working toward greater consistency, this workshop is designed to move you from questions about reassessment to a process you can actually use.
