In a Nutshell

In the end, quality assessment requires us to use multiple authentic strategies to assess a variety of skills over a period of time in a caring and safe risk-taking environment. As professionals our evaluation of student learning is supported by the knowledge and skills that our students present to us again and again. Our assessments are guided by the data that we collect which supports our professional judgement. We can stand behind our decisions with confidence knowing that the decisions we make are in the best interest of our students and their futures.
