By identifying key learning goals and building quality rubrics to assess them, teachers can help students focus on the learning that really matters.
Key Points
- Learner outcomes should be front and centre when designing student tasks.
- Within a project, the most important learning is often found in the skills, rather than thinking of the product as an end in itself.
- Teachers build assessment capacity as they rework previous assessments to focus more closely on outcomes.
Discussion Question
- What support will students need to shift their focus away from cosmetic factors towards higher level skills?
