Episode 42: Summer Playlist Series: Creating Great Activities and Assessments

Playlist 4: Creating great activities and assessments 

Do your classroom activities or assessments need a makeover for the 2019 school year? After you’ve considered how you will get to know your students in those first few days and weeks (listen to last week’s recommendations in playlist 3 for help with that), it’s time to think about how to create lesson plans and assessments that work for you and your students. Whether it’s how much class time to dedicate to a particular topic, how to give assessments that challenge each individual student, or how to make students care by making real world connections, Pam, Kristin, and Emily will inspire you to revamp the way you think of activities and assessments—and it’s sure to change the way your students think as well!
