We invite you to join us for the 2018 Assessment Institute in Indianapolis to be held at the Indianapolis Marriott Downtown October 21-23.

The Assessment Institute in Indianapolis is the nation’s oldest and largest event focused exclusively on outcomes assessment in higher education. We anticipate that some 1000 educators from virtually every state and several other countries will take part in the 2018 Institute.

The Assessment Institute in Indianapolis is designed to provide opportunities for (1) individuals and campus teams new to outcomes assessment to acquire fundamental knowledge about the field, (2) individuals who have worked as leaders in outcomes assessment to share and extend their knowledge and skills, and (3) those interested in outcomes assessment at any level to establish networks that serve as sources of support and expertise beyond the dates of the Institute.

Основная цель занятия – познакомить слушателей с современным подходом к оцениванию в классе, помогающему ученикам формировать навыки 21 века: критическое мышление, умение учиться и работать в команде. Слушатели получат опыт работы с инструментами формирующего оценивания, которое также принято называть оцениванием для обучения.

Assessment and evaluation have always been an integral part of the educational process. Quality and purposeful assessment can assist in students’ learning and their achievement. While there has been a rapid growth in international, standardized student assessments in the past few decades, a large number of education systems participating in these assessments are now focusing their attention on developing new national, assessments to evaluate educational standards and to modify the curriculum to better suit to the demands of the 21st century. Education systems that are successful in linking the national curriculum and assessments directly to international standards are performing better on international standardized assessments of reading, mathematics, and science.

The conference is aimed at those working in all sectors of education and training who are committed to quality education and performance improvement of teachers and students. In this conference internationally renowned scholars and practitioners will share their experiences, best practices, and innovative approaches in educational measurement, evaluation and assessment. The conference will be a key event for the teachers, school administrators and policy makers to discover the fresh perspectives and current trends on assessment processes in various educational settings.
