Assessments are most useful when they focus on informing instruction, not grades. Involve your students in the process. Utilize assessments as motivational tools, not confidence crushers.

Clearly define the learning targets. This is a snapshot of the conversations surrounding today’s role of classroom assessments. What does assessment mean to you?
