Assessment Considerations and Conversations

Today I have the opportunity to share, consider and converse with several of the MA candidates in our Curriculum and Instruction Option on campus. Our topic is assessment, more specifically formative assessment, authentic assessment, and the use of rubrics. Here are some of the references I will provide to them. I am certain we will all learn something!
