Description

Students will be introduced to forms of assessment used in classroom teaching, as well as how to make evidence-based decisions as part of a collaborative team of educators. Students evaluate the effectiveness of different kinds of assessments and examine the benefits and challenges of assessments in a variety of contexts. Students will understand the process of assessment from asking good questions through "closing the loop" and will discuss test creation, reliability, and validity as it relates to assessment work.
