Designing an Assessment Plan That Reflects What Matters Most Looking Ahead

Wrapping It All Up

You’ve done a lot. You’ve built an assessment plan that reflects your values, centers student growth, and uses meaningful tools—rather than overloading your day with testing.

You’ve explored different types of assessments and reflected on how to gather data that actually matters to you and your students. You’ve thought about how to include students in that process—so that they’re not just being evaluated, but becoming evaluators of their own growth.

 

Now it’s time to zoom out and ask: How do you make time for all of this?

Looking Ahead

In the next part of this training series, you’ll explore how to:

 

  • Think through the rhythms of a single project (from launch to reflection)
  • Build a school schedule that supports deep, meaningful learning
  • Align your daily and weekly routines with the goals and outcomes you’ve identified
