Today I’m speaking with Jen Smith and Jesse Weber. 

In this episode, we discuss all things assessment in physical education, including how our minds have shifted on the topic of assessment over the years, common misconceptions that teachers may have about grading and assessment, outdated grading practices, criteria that teachers should assess students on, what teachers should do with the data from assessments, how to track data efficiently, and common challenges and potential solutions to standards based grading.
