    Grades are only as accurate as the assessments upon which they are built. This conference is designed to provide both classroom teachers and school/district leaders with a deeper understanding of the issues involved in sound grading practices, as well as practical strategies and alternatives, in order to change how students are graded. 

    Here's a peek at what you can look forward to learning this year!

    • Turning assessment information into accurate, defensible report card grades
    • Gaining a deeper understanding of the issues involved in sound grading
    • Tracking and communicating assessment results for both summative and formative purposes
    • Ensuring that grades provide accurate reflections of achievement

    Hear from educators who attended past ATI Summer Conferences and see what they took away from the experience.

    Assessment

    Assessment, one of the 2018 Annual Meeting topics, focuses on purposeful planning and instruction. Outlined in the NCTM publication Mathematics Formative Assessment Volume 2, are 50 all-new formative assessment classroom techniques (FACTS) that are embedded throughout a cycle of instruction. This publication does not present a one-size fits all approach, but helps you build a bridge between your students' initial ideas and correct mathematical thinking. 

     
    15387.jpg

    Formative assessment "describes all those processes by which teachers and learners use information about student achievement to make adjustments to the students' learning. It's using information to adapt your teaching and adapt the work of the students to put the learning back on track, to make sure the learning is proceeding in the right direction." 


    —Dylan Wiliam, Emeritus Professor of Educational Assessment at University College London
    Make your plans to attend again early, and be excited to again share experiences and gain insights with thousands of peers.

    Summer is a great time to catch up on reading and get teaching tips to bring back to your classroom this fall. NCTM has a new learning opportunity to collaborate with your colleagues for this month. 
     
    Dive deeper into topics about new NCTM publications in one of our upcoming webinars. This July, we will discuss our recently released publication, Enhancing Classroom Practice with Research behind Principles to Actions.
     
    Join us for this free webinar and share your insights before, during, and after the events on social media with the hashtag #NCTMLive. Join your peers in the mathematics education community and let's learn together!
    Webinar Series: Author Talks
    July 26 | 7:00 p.m. ET

    14787.jpgEnhancing Classroom Practice with Research behind Principles to Actions summarizes and synthesizes the research behind each of the guiding principles and essential elements of Principles to Actions: Ensuring Mathematical Success for All and offers examples of what they can look like in classroom practice. During this webinar the editors will provide an overview of the book and describe the various ways in which classroom teachers, teacher educators, instructional coaches, and administrators might use the book. Then we will delve into specific examples from a few chapters to illustrate the direct connections between Principles to Actions, research, and classroom practice.

The ATOMIC Mission is to ensure that every Connecticut student receives world-class education in mathematics by providing vision, leadership and support to the K-16 mathematics community and by providing every teacher of mathematics the opportunity to grow professionally.
