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.
