1F: Designing Student Assessments ~Know that your students have reached the intended outcomes ~Use a variety of assessments, adapted to your students ~Monitor the progress of the student ~Make sure the assessment matches the learning expectations ~ Make the expectations clear ~Assessments should be part of your lesson plan, and previous assessments can help future ones ~Assessments can teach the teachers ~Use formative assessments such as "raise you hand if..." or "thumbs up or down"
