A Joint Panel Discussion with Corwin Authors and NWEA Researchers: Leading Instruction and Assessment from a Distance

How do we know if students are learning from a distance? Leveraging evidence of learning in meeting every student’s needs during this uncertain time is a critical component to your successful distance learning teaching and learning plan. Corwin and NWEA are proud to present a special panel discussion with Douglas Fisher, Nancy Frey, John Hattie, and Chase Nordengren on the school leader’s role in leading instruction and assessment in distance learning. Join moderator Dominique Smith as we discuss how schools can use specific instructional strategies and assessment tools to meet the needs of students and teachers both in the classroom and as part of the remote learning environment to help close learning gaps, restore greater equity, and get all kids back on track towards reaching their highest growth potential.

Participants will:

• Gain practical strategies for supporting teachers in delivering effective distance learning, including professional learning, instructional supervision, and mindframes for leaders
• Understand how remote delivered assessments can be a source of valuable information to inform instruction
• Learn the role of assessments in locating students in their learning journey and how goal setting helps them plan where they want to go
