Designing Aligned Assessments and Assignments

Rationale

“Students learn best—and assessment works best—when education is a purposeful, integrated, collaborative experience” (Suskie, 2009, p. 3).

Practices

  • Identify assessment and assignment types aligned to the cognitive level of course outcomes

  • Offer assignment choice to increase equity

  • Ensure portfolios provide evidence of mastery

  • Assess students’ prior knowledge to inform course adjustments

  • Provide early opportunities for students to demonstrate mastery of foundational concepts

  • Use formative opportunities to prepare students for summative assessments and assignments

  • Incorporate certification/licensure exam requirements in assessments

  • Use the transparent assignment template

  • Break complex assignments into smaller components
