Reimagining Balanced Assessment Systems
Building Expertise: SCALE Coaches
Who is a SCALE coach? A SCALE coach will be trained to help teachers and leaders address school-based assessment problems of practice. The coach will be trained to apply assessment for and of learning to their unique context.
Why should your district join? Districts participating in SCALE will build their capacity and expertise to select and use assessments that support (rather than constrain) teaching and learning. The goal is to support schools and districts to design and implement sensible assessment systems where assessments inside and outside the classroom are used appropriately.
Who should apply? Superintendents select 2-3 participants to complete the year-long professional learning. Participants should serve in positions such as instructional coaches, teacher leaders, and/or assistant principals. The superintendent should complete the application by May 15th.
