Assessing Your Class

Strategy 1: Diverse Assessments

Why do this?

Different forms of assessment give different students a better chance to shine. Every student has different strengths, and giving different kinds of assessments means that they can grow their skills in new areas, while showing off their strong areas. This also allows students to think in different ways about content, and alleviates certain anxieties that they may have.

How do I do this?

Try looking at your students’ knowledge and understanding through different lenses. These alternative assessments may include but are not limited to papers, presentations, poster sessions, quizzes, notebook checks, and group work.
