Her-Story Global Collaboration Project: Creative Assessment and Reflection

This is workshop three of six for the series titled "Her-Story Global Collaboration Project"

Workshop Description:
Frequent checks for understanding provide teachers with the opportunity to improve student learning outcomes based on their responses throughout the teaching and learning process.
