Assessing learning goes beyond simple quizzes, according to SMART Exemplary Educator Sarah Lornston. And her presentation today at ISTE is going to show you how!

Sarah is an English language arts teacher at Mahtomedi High School, one of Newsweek’s top high schools in America. Her presentation, Language arts assessment and English language acquisition, takes place today at 11 a.m. in booth 3313.

She will demonstrate how to use SMART Response interactive response systems to track student growth and concept mastery, creating clarity around students’ strengths and areas for improvement. The presentation will show these tools in the context of a high school language arts classroom, but the concepts may be universally applied across curriculum and grade levels.
