How do we assess student thinking when traditional assessment and evaluation tasks present barriers for students? What do we do when students are not motivated to complete a culminating activity or don’t persevere through a test or assignment? How might we rethink our assessment practice so that it provides accurate, meaningful and just-in-time information to support our instruction and student learning? And, how do we assess in ways that are manageable without increasing our workload? In this webinar, we will grapple with these and other questions that remain at the heart of teaching and learning. We will examine various ways to assess thinking that allow students to demonstrate their learning without the barriers of inflexible assessment tasks. Participants will consider some sample assessment tools and think about how teacher teams, schools or districts might collaboratively refine their approach to assessing thinking.
