SUMMARY:Formative Assessments For CTE Programs
DESCRIPTION:Event Details:\n\nLevel 4\nThis class is designed for teachers in at least their 2nd year\n\nThis highly engaging course will provide you with an opportunity to evaluate the purpose of formative assessments. Topics include the role and types of assessments\, the process to develop an objective assessment\, as well as criteria for crafting quality multiple-choice items. You will learn the skills needed to create objective assessment items using a process that mirrors the development of items for the Arizona CTE Technical Skill Assessments. You will develop an understanding of how to assess student skills in relation to standards and Bloom’s Taxonomy levels that require the application of concepts and critical thinking. In addition to learning about assessment development\, you will create formative assessment items for use with students in your CTE program and others in the CTE community. \nYou will be empowered to implement concepts immediately in your classroom. \nUpon successful completion of the course\, which includes submission of homework\, participants will receive an ADE certificate for 15 professional development clock hours\, which equates to one (1) semester hour of coursework.

SUMMARY:Literacy For CTE
DESCRIPTION:Event Details:\n\nLevel 2\nThis class is designed for all CTE teachers\n\nResearch and experience show that implementing effective reading and terminology practices directly impacts student academic success. CTE students with strong reading and terminology skills are able to make connections to new content quicker\, perform better on certifications and assessments\, and engage more readily in professional communication in industry. \nThis course is designed to equip teachers to use their program instructional terminology along with high-yield vocabulary practices to plan and teach in both the class and hands-on settings. Whereas technical reading and performance-based literacy focus on standards for reading\, writing\, listening\, and speaking\, this course takes a deeper look at using effective reading and terminology strategies. \nUpon successful completion of the course\, which includes submission of homework\, participants will receive an ADE certificate for 15 professional development clock hours\, which equates to one (1) semester hour of coursework.
