Measurable Objectives – Think of the learning objectives as a set of skills, knowledge, or abilities that your students will be able to master at the end of the lesson. Then consider the assessment as a way for the student to prove they are capable of that mastery.

Varied Assessments – Test is not a four letter word, doesn’t take time from learning, not bean-counting tactic or makes you teach to the test!  Tests are learning experiences by themselves and must be integrated within learning activities. In short, assessment IS a form of teaching & learning.
