Join Tom Schimmer, author of Ten Things that Matter from Assessment to Grading, on Tuesday, November 29 at 1:45 PST for an in-depth look at how leaders can take the principles of sound assessment & grading practices to scale in their school or district.  This webinar will explore some big ideas of leadership that allow leaders to develop the mindset necessary to navigate a paradigm shift within their organization.  In addition, participants will become familiar with the important guidelines for any implementation plan as well as strategies that have proven to be successful.  The issues of inevitable roadblocks and challenges will also be addressed in order to best prepare leaders to create the conditions necessary for optimum success.
