In an arts classroom, students can ask questions, experiment, and discuss their choices.
Projects can take a brief amount of time or many weeks.
During an assessment, students cannot talk over their ideas with their classmates or a teacher. They may not have been exposed to the material being assessed. They have a limited amount of time to complete their work. They may not know the people who are administering the assessment. Arts educators and staff at ETS worked together to find ways to engage students in assessment exercises.
