I learned that creating effective assessments isn’t just about testing knowledge—it’s about making sure the assessments actually reflect what students are expected to learn. I learned the importance of aligning assessments with learning objectives and using a variety of formats so different learners have a chance to show what they know. I plan to apply this by designing assessments that are clear, relevant, and fair, and by using them as a tool to help guide instruction and support student learning, not just to assign a grade.
