Tuesday evening
Washoe County teachers participated in the second of a two session in-service
class, ‘Writing to Sources’ (information on the first session is in a previous post here). The focus for this final session was on supporting
writing with exemplar lessons and the use of formative assessment. Throughout
the evening, teachers collaborated around writing lesson exemplars, explored writing rubrics from the Nevada Department of Education
and SBAC, and reviewed literature on formative assessment from the Carnegie Corporation and
Kelly Gallagher. Resources for this second session are linked below. The next ‘Writing
to Sources’ in-service will be held in the Spring of 2015.
