This IAEP Center sponsored webinar will explore how school districts are engaging students and tracking progress since the era of Covid. Professor Emeritus at UC Berkeley, Bruce Fuller, and Principal Researcher at the American Institutes for Research, Dr. Niu Gao, will connect their research to larger questions of the role of data in the recovery of achievement after the pandemic and how assessment–including formative assessment–connects to state policies and local strategies that are helping K-12 students in California.
