Prepare for rising demand for assessment tools and embedded assessment models in maker learning¶

Evidence · no claims cited

Description¶

Because Assessment and Documentation trails the other rubric areas while curriculum integration improves, the report expects assessment resources to become the next major need and commits to helping schools respond. It states "we expect demand for assessment tools to rise in the coming years" and highlights the partnership between MIT and Maker Ed to study embedded assessments, which has the potential to create models that allow assessments to feel more natural to students and teachers as they are making.

Design Implications¶
