Assess THAT with Tom & Nat! (Assessment, Feedback, Grading, and Learning)

12 - Assessment & UDL

Listen Later

In this episode, Tom and Nat explore the intersection between assessment and Universal Design for Learning (UDL). Specifically, they highlight five important connections:

  1. UDL means designing assessments from the start with flexibility in mind. 
  2. Assessment must reflect the UDL principles of engagement, representation, and expression. 
  3. Formative assessment is essential—it guides flexible, responsive design. 
  4. Clear learning goals allow you to separate the what from the how. 
  5. Self-assessment and reflection develop agency and expert learners.
