Assessment

Proper assessment allows educators to understand what students know, what they don’t know, and where misconceptions may be hindering learning.

The NSRC’s STC Program assessment strategies include:

  • pre- and post-unit assessments
  • embedded assessmentss
  • student self-assessments
  • assessment beyond student products, via teacher observations and oral conversations

See Assessing Student Progress in the STC Program for more information.
