Advancing 21st Century Standards-Based
Practices
CTLT was established in 2003 at the University
of
Colorado Denver as an initiative within the
School
of Education and Human Development to support
educators across the state of Colorado.
Today, CTLT works with educators across the
US to catalyze and co-create the transformation
of learning environments through the use of
assessment so that all are engaged in learning and
empowered to positively contribute in a global
society.
CTLT pursues this mission by:
-
Creating and providing learning experiences to educators that promote immediate use of strategies
and tools, as well as long term development of
educational practice.
-
Coaching and embedding the use of assessment as a support for
learning within classroom settings.
-
Planning, developing and facilitating professional learning
communities.
-
Clarifying language and conceptual frameworks.
-
Developing, supporting and bringing forward models of practice.
-
Convening practitioners to bring out the best thinking.
-
Engaging educators at the intersection of theory and practice.
Formative Assessment
"It's a
really good feeling to know that you have
some control over your education, that it is
not just in the fate of what you know and
what you don't know. It is what you are
going to do about it."
