The Maine DOE is offering a second series of workshops to support effective use of formative assessment practices in PK-5 classrooms to inform literacy instruction and bolster student learning. Three successive workshops, facilitated by Maine DOE specialists and teacher leaders from across the state, will build from current practices to extend and deepen knowledge about formative assessment. Learn more about:

components of formative assessment: learning intentions and success criteria; collecting and analyzing evidence of student learning; providing actionable feedback; and employing peer and self-assessment opportunities,
formative assessment strategies that benefit literacy teaching and learning, and
instruction to promote surface, deep and transfer learning related to ELA/Literacy standards.

Session 1 will introduce foundational understanding of formative assessment practices and focus on creating meaningful learning goals and success criteria.
Session 2 will dig deeper into collecting evidence of student learning through observation and student work, analyzing the evidence and responding with actionable feedback.
Session 3 will continue the focus from session 2 and expand with examples of how to incorporate in peer and self-assessment opportunities.
New participants in the network should register to attend all three day-long (8:30-3:00) sessions in one region of the state. The cost of attendance for the three sessions is $100 total.
Returning participants (educators who took part in the 2016-17 series) are welcome to attend all three sessions, but may opt to attend only sessions 2 and 3 where content will be expanded upon from last year. The cost for a returning participant to attend sessions 2 and 3 is $70 total.
Participants will apply learning between sessions and are encouraged to register with at least one colleague so they can engage in collegial learning throughout the year.

Take your personal (and professional) development to the next level with a no-nonsense conversation with Dan Waldschmidt. He wants to empower you with the focus, insight and accountability you need to achieve the consistent results you want.
Using the 1,000+ stories and case studies that he researched when writing his best-selling book, EDGY Conversations, Dan will captivate you with stories about the small city who stood up against the greatest king who had ever lived, how to run 100 miles when you’re too tired to move, and how smart companies make millions more by being more valuable.

Real talk from a guy who has helped the biggest companies in the world (and the smart teachers who helped them get there) dominate their industry. Now it’s time for you to do the exact same thing.
As a sneak peak, there are 6 key lessons that all high performers in business, math, sports, science, and politics have learned to get to that point in their life and career. In our time together we’ll explore:
The superpower of outworking everyone else around you
Why being weird is essential to massive long terms progress
How to use the right technology to get what you want
Why you should say “NO” more often to yourself

Afternoon session description
(for faculty, administrators, and community agencies)

A child born into poverty today is less likely to gain an education than a child born into privilege. Dr. Beegle will illuminate practical strategies for changing statistics and improving lives of children and families in poverty in meaningful, repeatable, and systemic ways. Her school programs and Opportunity Community Model have been implemented in multiple communities across the United States, including K-12 districts as well as at the college level.
For more information about Dr. Donna Beegle and her work, please visit www.combarriers.com.
