Creating Reliable and Valid Assessments
Length: 1/2 day
Presenter: Fawzia Tung, MD

In this new era of data-driven instruction, assessments play an increasingly important role. What are the goals of a teacher-produced assessment? Does the assessment reflect these goals? What does the resulting score mean? This workshop trains teachers in the nitty-gritty process of designing a test that accurately measures and reports a student’s mastery of the material learned. Administrators will learn to process such scores into meaningful data which can be used to plan further instruction policies. By the end of the workshop, the teacher will be able to write accurate and reliable assessments and use data from assessments to plan instruction.

Developing Good Character Traits
Length: 1/2 day
Presenter: Patricia Salahuddin, EdD

Nurturing the moral excellence in our students so they can reach their full potential can be achieved with team effort and a school wide approach. This presentation will guide the school’s “stakeholders” in identifying common values and devise ways to get students to internalize and apply character traits that represent the core values of the school and Islam.

Creating a Peaceful and Positive Learning Environment: Classroom Discipline
Length: 1/2 day
Presenter: Patricia Salahuddin, EdD

In an Islamic school, our ultimate goal is to foster God-consciousness in our students. We want them to do the right thing when no one is looking simply because it is the right thing to do. This presentation helps participants create a positive learning environment for students to assist them in developing self-discipline.
