SEL assessment can support effective teaching and learning by serving two broad goals: to guide instruction (formative assessment); and measure the results of instruction (summative assessment). As the field of SEL is working to integrate evidence-based SEL programming more systematically into teaching and learning, progress in SEL assessment is accelerating to support these efforts. This report shows SEL assessment has advanced in multiple ways:

It’s time to learn. Instructional design (or instructional systems design) combines the art of creating engaging learning experiences with the science of how the brain works. This site is designed to support students, teachers, instructional designers, learning engineers, and anyone interested in creating more effective learning experiences. Resources on this site were created by Greg Kearsley and Richard Culatta Why Instructional Design Matters ... Learn MoreHome

Do you want to know how students can navigate and organize the vast amounts of information at their fingertips? Do you want your students to be self-reflective about the knowledge they are constructing for themselves? Do you want to learn how curation can be a valuable, meaning-making activity? ISTE’s new Digital Learning Pathways, created in partnership with the Metiri Group, are designed to help busy teachers deepen learning with digital tools. In this course you will interact with research, best-practice strategies, teacher self-assessments, rubrics, real-life scenarios of practice, digital learning strategies, sample lesson plans, and more. As a result of participation, teachers will know what it means to develop students as knowledge constructors, what attributes can be developed to deepen knowledge construction, and effective strategies to support students in constructing knowledge. Users can earn a certificate of completion and a badge after completion of a knowledge assessment. This course will provide users with the knowledge and strategies necessary to enable students to be knowledge constructors in the classroom setting. ISTE member price: $40.00 and non-member price is $45.00 Questions about bulk purchases - please email us support@metiri.com

What is Formative Feedback? “Formative feedback is an intentional, voluntary, developmental strategy for instructors to receive feedback about their teaching, with the goal of better understanding and improving student learning” (Jeffs & Piera, 2016) “Formative feedback has been shown in numerous ...

During the past two decades, a growing number of universities, mainly from developed countries, have established branch campuses in developing countries. From the developing country perspective, attracting foreign universities can help mitigate financial constraints and capacity shortages that impair the state’s ability to provide greater access to higher education, while also improving teaching and research in general. However, foreign universities may also be detrimental if they crowd out their domestic counterparts. We explore different scenarios and policy options for developing countries aiming to attract foreign universities, building upon a review of four case studies from Chile, China, Kazakhstan, and Malaysia. Our analysis illustrates how host countries can provide incentives to align incoming foreign universities to complement and strengthen the areas of weakness in their higher education systems. We also reflect on how policy-makers can deal with the challenges associated with the dual embeddedness of international branch campuses.
