About the webinar
Effective assessment goes beyond measuring comprehension—it shapes learning experiences by aligning with students' needs and preferences. This webinar explores how teachers can select and apply diverse assessment tools to enhance student engagement and understanding. Participants will examine both formative (assessment for learning) and summative (assessment of learning) approaches, with a focus on choosing the most suitable methods for different learning contexts. Through practical insights and hands-on applications, teachers will discover innovative strategies to provide meaningful feedback and support student success. Join us to explore how intentional assessment design can transform teaching and learning outcomes.
