Historically, we’ve spent way more time assessing students’ fact fluency than we have teaching it. As we shift away from memorization-only teaching practices, what corresponding shifts should we make in fluency assessment practices? Hear a panel of educators including Graham Fletcher and Tracy Johnston Zager, co-authors of the Building Fact Fluency toolkits for grades K–5, explore key questions.

• How much information do teachers need to make informed fluency assessments? What kind? When do they need it?
• What’s a good balance of formative/summative assessment?
• How can we gather student learning data in ways that are humanizing and never humiliating?
• What about progress monitoring, tracking, and district requirements?

Viewers will think about big ideas and pick up practical tips such as strategies for using Fact Self-Checks, effective for assessing fact fluency while keeping students in charge of their learning. Resources discussed in this one-hour recorded webinar will be sent by follow-up e-mail from Zaner-Bloser.
