What if you could know—right in the middle of a lesson—whether students truly understand or are just nodding along? In this practical and engaging session, “Did it Stick? How to Assess Student Learning Before It’s Too Late,” secondary math teachers will explore how to use formative assessment to catch misconceptions early, adjust instruction in real time, and ensure learning actually lasts.

Instead of waiting for a quiz or test to reveal gaps, participants will learn how to embed quick, high-impact checks for understanding into everyday instruction—without sacrificing pacing. We’ll examine common pitfalls and replace them with strategies that make student thinking visible.
