Rethinking traditional assessments isn't just about changing formats—it's about embracing diverse approaches that accommodate different skills and learning styles. This session explores how to design authentic and scaffold assessments that allow space for practice, feedback, and revision. We'll also discuss how to make assignment instructions transparent and provide clear rubrics to ensure all* students understand what is expected of them, promoting a fair and inclusive learning environment.
