ASSESSMENT FOR LEARNING IN THE DP/CP

Use this workshop to explore and increase your understanding of the philosophical underpinnings of DP/CP assessments. Then develop lesson plans and units of instruction using DP/CP assessment philosophies and practices. Over the course of the workshop, you will learn about assessment in the DP/CP, assessment objectives across all subject groups, the relationship of DP/CP assessments across multiple DP/CP subject groups and the central role of feedback in assessment. You will also discuss understanding by design, backward design and the role of assessment in backward design. You will explore effective instructional strategies and the role of assessment across IB core philosophies (learner profile, approaches to learning, approaches to teaching). You will also have the chance to design reflective assessments.
