Students will critically examine assessment practices and policies for Grades K-12 learning contexts including practices associated with 'assessment of, as and for learning' in various school subjects. Students will consider the role of assessment in self-regulated learning and deepen their understanding of ways to provide feedback to K-12 students to support their learning. Assessment practices that can enhance equity including culturally +3.0 responsive/sustaining assessment will be explored as well as ways to gather assessment information to guide teaching. Ways to communicate assessment information to parents will be considered and assessment policies and guidelines will be examined [3 credits]
