Abstract

If you were given a two-hour time block for professional development on a Friday afternoon just before the school district is to go on a week-long vacation, what kind of professional learning would you offer to maintain adult learners’ interest and meet their learning needs? The authors chose an interactive immersion gallery walk to present information about foundational classroom assessment literacy concepts and skills. A gallery walk is a discussion technique that gets learners out of their seats and invites them to become active participants in the learning process.
