We can’t innovate and be effective with what we don’t have. Some of us think narrowly, thinking there are only two ways to assess a topic when there are actually a dozen. Some of us get bogged down in students taking a test in a particular format rather than demonstrating genuine learning. Others wonder if can breathe life into more traditional assessment prompts. Opening the door to alternative ways to demonstrate mastery of subject content while holding students accountable for specific evidence and real learning ignites excitement in all of us! Join us for a quick tour of both traditional and innovative assessment possibilities when chasing evidence of learning, not merely of compliance from students. We’ll also discuss student ownership with their learning and assessments, the decrease in student excuses and deflection, where students find validation, and much more. It’s time to expand our repertoire, helping students find meaning and just as importantly, create accurate expressions of what they know and can do!
