EDUT 5436 Building Meaningful Assessments

BUILDING MEANINGFULL ASSESSMENTS FOR CONDIFENT TEST TAKERS
What if test day felt less like a hurdle and more like an opportunity? This course reframes assessment as a tool for learning, not just a measure of it. Dig into the science of learning, evidence-based instructional strategies, and thoughtful assessment design to see how these elements create testing experiences where every student can show what they truly know. Explore practical ways to weave study and test-taking strategies into daily instruction, ease test anxiety before it takes hold, design assessments that are both meaningful and inclusive, and use what you learn from results to sharpen your teaching moving forward. Finish the course with classroom-ready resources and instructional tools you can put to use right away, helping students walk into assessments with confidence while giving you a true picture of their learning.
