Various methods of assessment and effective feedback strategies are reviewed, with ongoing forums for reflection and refinement of individual teaching practice. The learning objectives and rubric for the mini-unit summative project in Curriculum Design & Differentiation align with the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards.
