Candidates will engage in an advanced study of the ways in which teaching and learning are informed by assessment theory, research and data. Specifically, students will focus on the theory and research that informs assessment. They will identify, understand and implement methods and strategies for monitoring, analyzing and interpreting assessment for the purposes of understanding and responding to the affective, cognitive, social and developmental factors that impact teaching and learning in various disciplines. Participants will design and select specific work products for their portfolio of practice including student work samples, videotapes and rigorous analyses of their classroom teaching and student learning.
