[Yr7-10it] Expressions of interest for professional learning in formative assessment for DigiTech

[Feain, Philip A]

Dear All

Seeking Expressions of Interest to participate in professional learning in Formative Assessment for Digital Technologies

The Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority has partnered with the University of Melbourne to provide professional learning for teachers interested in strengthening their knowledge, understanding and practice in formative assessment and to understand how to use formative assessment to progress student learning across the Victorian Curriculum F-10.

We are looking for experienced teachers who are keen to participate in a series of workshops led by Melbourne University to develop and share high-quality resources. These will be based on guided learning in the workshops and implementation of formative assessment practices within your school.

The workshops will consist of one initial full day workshop and two subsequent half day workshops on Thursday 24 May,  Thursday 21 June and Thursday 23 August.

We are looking for teachers across Foundation - Year 10 from government, Catholic and independent schools.

You will:

*        attend three professional learning workshops to deepen your understanding of formative assessment, to reinforce your good practices and to challenge and extend your thinking

*        be provided with feedback on your resource by experts in curriculum and assessment

*        share with and learn from other teachers involved in the project

*        produce a resource including an assessment rubric, that is ready for you to use in your classroom and could be shared with others in your school and/or network.
There will be 3 days of CRT provided to your school to enable you to be part of this project including one day for planning and refining around these workshops.

If you are based in a regional or rural area you will be provided with accommodation and travel reimbursement so you can attend the workshops.

Expressions of Interest close on Friday 18 May unless capacity is reached earlier.
