Effective Assessment Tools in Teaching History for High School Students

Presentation Abstract

         The session on Effective Assessment Tools in Teaching History for High School Students examines the fundamental principles of formative assessment in the Social Studies classroom. These fundamental principles include a focus on the learner, using assessment data to improve teaching, and effective use of feedback. The session highlights the importance of ‘assessment for learning’ in the K12 History classroom. Moreover, formative assessment teaching techniques will also be discussed to demonstrate how the principles work in the History classroom.
