EPIC is a professional academy designed to improve student
learning and advance assessment practices of P-12
teachers. Participating in EPIC provides teachers with
continuous opportunities for professional growth
and curriculum development. Teachers in EPIC
will examine a particular aspect of their practice and
a particular portion of their curriculum in a
systematic development process. EPIC will result
in teacher-developed resources and models that will be
shared with all teachers in Indiana.
Objectives and Activities
1. Curriculum Development. Educators from BSU and its
partners will support teachers in a professional
development program in which they will develop
standards-based curricular resources to enhance student
achievement.
2. Assessment Literacy. Teachers will participate in
training to build a sophisticated practice of assessment
for learning that utilizes performance-based assessment
technologies to support rubrics design, evidence analysis,
and data aggregation.
3. Professional Technologies. Teachers and other educators
will collaborate online to develop, share, and amplify
their curricular and assessment outcomes to fellow teachers
in their school, their district, and throughout Indiana.
