Outcome-Based Learning & Informative Assessment – FPG Approved

Participants will be able to connect the three main functions of formative assessment (including Classroom Assessment Techniques) with instruction. You will be provided the opportunity to identify and/or create formative assessments, that are clearly aligned to lesson objectives, to check for understanding, adjust or refine instruction and give appropriate feedback to students. This process is student-centered and will promote the development of metacognitive skills for learners. Pre-requisites: None

Higher Education is under assault from a number of external constituencies:
• Student interest and student learning are significantly waning
• Employers are not satisfied with under prepared graduates
• Parents are frustrated with increased costs and unsatisfactory results

A solution to the above issues is making its way into more college classrooms. The “flipped classroom” as it is termed, is a learning model where students read and learn material outside of classrooms. The flipped classroom is designed to engage students in a real-world problem-based application where they actually do things with the material rather than using information to pass a test soon to be forgotten. Attend an interesting and interactive presentation exploring what problem-based learning is and how to start implementing it in your classroom.

Anyone is welcome to attend who may be interested in learning about Problem-based Learning and the Flipped Classroom. Please invite guests by sharing this registration information.
