One of the main things I’ve learned is that barriers to assessment are not just academic but also emotional, technological, and environmental. Students may struggle with access to resources, language, or even self-confidence, all of which can impact their ability to demonstrate what they know. Moving forward, I plan to apply this by creating multiple ways for students to show their learning, such as projects, discussions, or visual work, instead of relying only on traditional written tests. I also want to involve parents and caregivers more in the process, since their insights can provide valuable context to better support students.
