Background Knowledge Probes as Classroom Assessment Technique

Event Description
Join us for an interactive conversation on the use of Background Knowledge Probes (BKPs) as an effective classroom assessment technique. BKPs can be useful tools for quickly identifying students’ familiarity with a specific concept—helping teachers to make informed decisions about where they should focus their instruction. In this session, we’ll look at samples of classroom-tested BKPs and discuss best practices for integrating these probes into our courses.
To celebrate the release of an updated version of Classroom Assessment Techniques by Thomas Angelo and Pat Cross, the CTL will be offering a series of short, 30-minute Virtual Conversations—each focused on one or two of these classroom assessment techniques (CATs). The sessions will introduce the CATs, share recommendations for use, provide step-by-step examples, and offer ideas for modifying and expanding them.
