Understanding By Design Chapter 5: Considering Evidence of Learning in Diverse Classrooms

Giving students multiple types of assessment options is key to finding students mastery of the subject.  Allowing them to do the certain type of assessment can encourage students to succeed by giving them options to do what they want.  Keeping students motivated during assessments will keep a happier class.  I want to be flexible in the ways that my students learn, so it is important that I vary the ways that I teach and the ways that I assess the students’ mastery of the subject.  By using the tic-tac-toe method, students will be allowed to choose certain projects and assessments that they find interesting and worthwhile.  By giving feedback on the projects, my students will be able to adapt and grow stronger based on the helpful feedback I give.
