The following courses will be offered beginning in February 2017:

Learning as Evidence: Improving Argumentation through Formative Assessment Practice
Participants will use a range of practical tools for gathering and analyzing language samples that show how students currently construct claims supported by evidence and/or reasoning.

Designing for Deeper Learning: How to Implement and Improve Performance Tasks
Build educators’ capacities to select, adapt, implement, and improve performance assessments that consider language and fit local contexts.

Each of the courses will take approximately 30 - 40 hours of learning time. Successful completion of the assignments for each course will result in a “Statement of Accomplishment” which can be used by systems to recognize professional development units or, if graduate credit can be awarded, through the local granting institution.

Registration is open for both courses; learn more at http://ell.stanford.edu/moocs
