Unlock the power of formative assessment with this practical, research-backed workshop led by David Weiss. Drawing on the insights of Douglas Fisher and Nancy Frey, participants will explore how to effectively check for understanding in the classroom to enhance student learning outcomes.

Through interactive discussions, activities, and real-world examples, educators will learn to move beyond traditional “raise your hand” methods and discover strategies that provide accurate insights into student comprehension. Participants will leave equipped with concrete tools—such as anticipation/reaction guides, exit tickets, bubble maps, and signal cards—that promote engagement, correct misconceptions, and improve overall instructional effectiveness.
Whether you’re looking to refine your current formative assessment practices or implement new approaches that drive deeper learning, this workshop offers actionable techniques and a clear framework for classroom success.
