* LEARN: CTE Instructor Innovation and Development
Does grading feels like a never-ending punishment for everyone? Maybe it’s time to rethink the whole approach. This session is all about using formative assessment as a tool for real-time insight, reflection, growth and not just a gradebook entry. You'll explore ways to check for understanding, adjust instruction on the fly, and give feedback that actually helps students learn (without drowning in paperwork). It's assessment that works for you, not against you. Key takeaways include creative formative assessment strategies that go beyond quizzes and tests, feedback tools that spark student reflection and ownership, low-prep/high-impact ways to gauge understanding, and how to use assessment to guide instruction, not just evaluate it.
