School assessments – grades, tests, feedback, questions and conversations – impact learning and learners.

Have you ever flunked a test and then felt like you didn’t want to try again at that subject? Have you received praise and positive feedback that excited you and motivated you to learn more, perhaps even leading you to a new program of study? Did the way a teacher design an assignment get you so fired up about a topic that it became a passion, a career path even? Classroom assessment shapes how we learn, how we see ourselves, and who we might become.
