Voices from the Field: The Ultimate Formative Assessment Wednesday, September 25, 2024 3:30 PM ET
Formative assessment is a powerful tool because it allows teachers, administrators, and students to receive real-time data on what each learner has mastered and what extra support or enrichment is needed. District leaders from around the country will share their experiences using the Independent Reading Level Assessment® (IRLA®) to guide literacy strategy, predict interim and summative assessment scores, and provide critical data that guide instruction, intervention, and differentiation.

Irvin Scott, Ed.D. Senior Lecturer at Harvard Graduate School of Education

Voices from the Field: All Means All Thursday, April 10, 2025 4:00 PM ET
When districts search for a core curriculum, they want something that will support ALL students no matter their background, language, or learning style. But too often, core curriculums are designed to “teach to the middle” with supports for striving readers, language learners, and other diverse learners added on afterward. What would happen if things were different? What might happen with a curriculum developed, from the beginning, in classrooms of diverse, multilingual learners and designed to unleash the full potential of every child?
Join Dr. Irvin Scott and district leaders from across the country as they discuss the ARC Core® experience in their districts.
