Assessment in the 21st century classroom
Assessment in 21st century classrooms is an interactive learning experience that offers an in-depth look at assessment that meets the needs of 21st century teaching and learning. Reforms currently underway reframe what is taught, how it is learned, and how it is being evaluated in innovative ways that help personalize learning. Assessments that support learning must explicitly communicate the nature of expected learning. Research, in fact, shows the powerful effect that on-going assessment embedded into the learning process has on student learning, particularly for low ability students. Creating such a system of personalized learning requires new forms of student performance assessments that enable individual students to stretch onward from wherever they are in a learning continuum.
In this course, teachers see how assessment strategies can benefit their teaching practices and their students’ learning. They learn how to plan, develop, and manage student-centered assessment.
