Past CAESL Conferences:
The CAESL Assessment Modules for Pre-Service Teacher Education
This set of modules is for use by teacher educators working with pre-service teachers to develop the knowledge and skills required to use assessment effectively in their secondary classrooms. Developed by Alicia Alonzo (Stanford University) and Andrea Whittaker (San Jose State University), with contributions from Susan Schultz (Stanford University), the modules are based on the view that assessment is integral to teaching and learning.
The modules, which contain lesson plans and accompanying resources needed to teach them, can be found at
