Challenge : Give a tip for assessment. What is an example of an assessment you give? Share any tips for designing/giving/grading assessments.
Tip : Require them to JUSTIFY their answer. I've given several assessments from Readworks.org and even on our benchmarks. I require my students to defend their answers. They have to explain to me why they have chosen their answer. When they do this and take it seriously more often then not they come to the correct answer. It allows them to truly think about their answer and I will often give partial credit if they truly have justified their answer even if it is wrong.
