The school year has begun and we are off! As we begin to instruct three dimensionally we also need to be mindful of how we are going to assess. As we begin to plan how we will monitor progress through two-dimensional assessments and what we will be collecting as a body of evidence, our three-dimensional assessments, here is a helpful STEM tool. This tool provides things to consider while creating assessments, reflection questions as you plan assessments, and some examples of 3D formative assessments.
