This strategic approach includes setting goals, establishing timelines, creating, and assessing authentic products. Assessment for Engaged Learning Assessment for engaged learning should be ongoing , generative , and performance-based . It is an important instructional tool.
Ongoing assessment takes place while the student is actively working on unit activities.
Generative assessment includes input from students in the development of criteria for project evaluation. One way to accomplish this is to have students help to develop a rubric at the start of the unit. We have developed a rubric framework for this purpose. Performance-based assessment involves students presenting their findings or sharing knowledge gained. Such performances may take many forms, including traditional oral presentations as well as multimedia formats.
