Session description

All too often, assessments are used to sort learners rather than to empower them. This session will explore the use of student-centered pre-, formative, and performance-based assessments to showcase student strengths, direct attention and focus towards success, and ignite excitement for learning through authentic, meaningful curriculum and assessment.

Supporting research

Along with my colleagues Jay McTighe and Kristina Doubet, I wrote a book for ascd titled "Designing Authentic Performance Tasks and Projects: Tools for Meaningful Learning and Assessment". Many of the ideas shared in this session come from this book. In addition, I will draw on work from other assessment experts including: Sue Brookhart, Thomas Guskey, and Rick Stiggins, among others. Here are some articles written by these assessment experts:

Thomas Guskey: https://ascd.org/el/articles/giving-retakes-their-best-chance-to-improve-learning
