Social Studies Assessment
PASST Development Project PD
What Is PASST?
Genesee ISD PASST PD Series
This state-wide, project based, year long training consisting of four sessions will focus on equipping teachers with the knowledge and skills necessary to create and evaluate next generation assessment items.
This professional development series will focus on learning and applying:
- learning targets,
- depth of knowledge,
- text complexity,
- question writing that assesses skills AND content, and
- scoring assessment items.
Participants will collaboratively create "next generation" assessment items aligned to the Michigan Social Studies Content Expectations and the skills stressed in the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) and the College, Career, and Civic Life (C3) Framework.
