Two students can do the same work and receive different grades depending on the teacher. That’s not autonomy, it’s inequity. So let's work on grading consistently by engaging in collaborative scoring and co-creating clear criteria. Equity begins with consistency in how we

Students are often passive recipients of their grades. When they’re not part of the process, they’re less likely to understand—or even care about—the outcomes. So, let's try to involve students in self-assessment, goal-setting, and reflection. Student investment is what leads

Traditional assessments often prioritize recall and isolated content skills. But today’s learners need to reason, synthesize, and respond to real situations—not just fill in blanks. So, let's design assessments that are modern, student-centred, and fluid in form. Let students

Too many school assessments ask students to perform tasks they’ll never see outside a classroom. Yet the world students are growing into demands they engage with real problems, competencies, & audiences. So, let's center assessments around compelling local and/or global issues.

Most teachers finish the year thinking, “Next year will be better." But without reflection, we inadvertently recreate the same chaos. In Ep. 15 of Assess THAT, we walk you through a 5-question #assessment audit to end the year with clarity, not just exhaustion. 🟣 Apple

Rich, complex assessments are often reserved for “gifted” students or advanced tracks. But critical competencies (like collaboration, critical thinking, & communication) are essential for all learners. So, let's make next-generation assessments the norm, not the exception. All

We are so excited that our new book has finally been published! We hope you'll check it out! #assessment #atplc #education #teachers

Too many assessments end in a number, with little to no room/time for revision, reflection, or growth. Without actionable feedback, learning stalls and confidence fades. So, let's use performance assessments to elicit evidence that sparks learning. Feedback should guide the

Some fear that giving students choice will reduce academic rigor or structure. However, when grounded in clear outcomes, choice increases ownership, meaning, and motivation. So, let's make student choice the default by allowing personalization in product, process, or topic.

Traditional assessments sort & label students more than they empower them. However, assessment should be a tool for growth, not just a verdict. So, let's design empowering assessments that give students ownership, purpose, and meaningful action. Use evidence to support, not

One-dimensional tests don’t reflect how thinking works in the real world. In life, problems are multi-step, multi-faceted, and rarely have one “right” answer. So, let's build assessments that stretch across subjects and strategies. Include qualitative & quantitative thinking,

Many assessments focus solely on achievement, ignoring the learner behind the grade. But real success includes developing a love of learning, adaptability, confidence, & a growth mindset. So, let's create assessments that develop the whole person. Let students demonstrate not

Students often perform well in school but struggle to apply their learning outside of it. Knowing something for the sake of knowing it isn’t the same as being able to apply it in an authentic context. So, let's use authentic performance assessments to build and measure

Traditional tests often focus on speed, not depth. But rushing through content only rewards surface learning and sidelines reflection. So let's design assessments that allow students to take their time, think deeply, and develop thoughtful, nuanced responses. #assessment

Many assessments treat learning as a one-size-fits-all process. But every learner brings different backgrounds, interests, and strengths to the table. So, let's build performance tasks that offer multiple pathways to demonstrate mastery—meeting students where they are.
