Creating Tiered Formative Assessments with STEMScopes
Wednesday May 27, 2026 10:30am - 11:15am CDT
This presentation focuses on creating tiered formative assessments using Stemscopes. It emphasizes the importance of formative assessments in guiding instruction and highlights the limitations of using full assessments for this purpose. The process involves selecting mastery goals and identifying prerequisite and mid-level skills to scaffold student learning. Ultimately, the data collected from these assessments allows for targeted instruction and intervention, enhancing student outcomes.
