This month's playground is all about assessment strategies.

It’s of the utmost importance that educators provide varying ways for students to demonstrate competency and reflect on their learning using technology. This may mean using data from formative assessments or summative assessments to help create deeper richer learning experiences. 

Join us to learn:

Here is how a playground works: 

Attendees will have from May 15 until May 31 to watch up to 6 pre-recorded sessions that range from 30 - 60 minutes long.  At the end of each video, there will be a link for the PDHs.

Illinois educators can earn up to three (3) PDHs for this event. 

During this webinar, participants will learn more about the current computer science education landscape in Illinois. We will discuss current legislation related to computer science and how it impacts schools in the coming school year. Participants will learn more about computer science teaching requirements and how UIUC's CSTed program can help teachers get endorsed. Participants will also learn about CS PD Week, a brand new professional learning event happening this summer in Bloomington that will help districts get started or strengthen their computer science courses K-12. With all of these resources, schools will be to address the new computer science mandates and bring high quality computer science opportunities to their students!
