  • identify those assessment strategies that they use frequently, occasionally and rarely and develop a plan to try some new assessment tools
  • recognise when assessment tasks promote deep understanding and are authentic and productive

  • create and trial a rubric for a class they teach
  • design better conventional written tests
  • plan and implement some classroom-based actions following this module.
