Demonstration of Learning
Guiding Question: Do All Students Demonstrate That They Are Learning?
Provide students with extensive opportunities to demonstrate their learning. Use questions, tasks, and assessments that yield data allowing you to assess students’ progress toward learning goals and help you pinpoint where understanding breaks down.
