Birds of a Feather: Formative Assessment – Improving Your ATE Delivery and Impact

Abstract

Last year, the Formative Assessment Systems for ATE (FAS4ATE) project explored how projects and centers could plan evaluation to enable continuous improvement of their efforts and provide better documentation of their outcomes. In this Birds of a Feather session, we’ll share the products of our work and consider potential tools and ideas to make evaluation more streamlined and fruitful. The group discussion will focus on using data to keep ATE efforts on track toward success, sharing strategies for collecting student outcomes, and surfacing potential collaborators for formative evaluation in the ATE community.
