Reimagining Assessment
Educators are rethinking the purposes, forms, and nature of assessment. Beyond testing mastery of traditional content knowledge—an essential task, but not nearly sufficient—educators are designing assessment for learning as an integral part of the learning process.
In this article on CompetencyWorks, Chris Sturgis explains the learning agenda behind the Assessment for Learning Project (ALP), a grant program supported by the Center for Innovation in Education, NGLC, and 2Revolutions. Equity was a topic of focus at a recent ALP convening of grantees, and Sturgis offers the projects of the Hawai’i Department of Education and Summit Public Schools as examples.
