Episode 8: Assessments, the Future School, and the Mysterious Finnish Team

In this episode, Kelly returns to join Brianna to talk about assessments. We start the conversation reflecting on the future school and its implications on the teaching profession. Then we discuss assessments, why they are important and how we can make them properly measure what they are intended to measure. Our readings were Chapters 7 and 8 of Wiggins and McTighe's Understanding by Design.

Coming up next week: More UDL and understanding understanding. Our readings will be Chapters 4 of Wiggins and McTighe's Understanding by Design and Chapter 5 of CAST (2014) Universal Design for Learning: Theory and Practice. Tweet your questions at us using #askedt503.
