Student-Engaged Assessment: Creating a Classroom of Problem Solvers (Part 5)

Assessment shouldn't be something we do to students. It should be something we do with them.

In this episode of the Math Chat Podcast, we're continuing our Creating a Classroom of Problem Solvers series by exploring the fifth strand of the framework: Student-Engaged Assessment.

Too often, assessment data stays in teacher binders, spreadsheets, and data meetings. But what if we invited students into the process? When students understand the learning goal, reflect on their progress, and use feedback to determine their next steps, assessment becomes a powerful tool for learning, not just grading.

In this episode, we'll chat about:

• Three simple ways to begin engaging students in the assessment process
• Why this is a strand to weave in thoughtfully as your classroom community grows

Mentioned in this episode:

• Word Problem Workshop: 5 Steps to Creating a Classroom of Problem Solvers (Reflect Chapter)
• Leaders of Their Own Learning by Ron Berger, Leah Rugen, and Libby Woodfin

This is Part 5 of the Creating a Classroom of Problem Solvers summer series. Next week, we'll wrap up the series by exploring the strand that ties everything together: Belonging & Identity.
