Sue Gendron, Scholastic Achievement Partners Senior Fellow, facilitated a workshop on Smarter-Balanced Assessments to about 80 staff members at the McKimmon Center. She provided background information on what instructional leaders need to know about Smarter-Balanced Assessments. She shared information about summative, formative, and interim assessments, as well as performance assessments, and how schools can best prepare students for success on these assessments.
