Every student must get a fair and equal chance to participate in the assessment. This can be done through a variety of differentiation tools.

The big idea: EVERY student should be given the chance to communicate their learning!

Beginning with the end in mind! It is the crucial element that remains as the basis for all teaching and lesson planning. Without assessment, teachers are left without any data of where student understanding is

In my unit, students at the end of every lesson, get a variety of checkpoints through instruction to check for understanding. We use a variety of informal assessments, including thumbs-up, think-pair-share, questioning tools, and turn and talks all as a means of assessing how students are synthesizing the material and what misconceptions they are creating. Thus, the teaching can be consistently tailored and driven based on the students.

These come together to address misconceptions the students have, challenge and extend content, and ensure that students take away the main idea from every lesson
