The April/May issue of Science Scope includes a great article on Assessment in science. But that’s not what has me thinking about assessment. I’m taking an online teaching class through the Powerful Learning Practice http://plpnetwork.com/ . and let me say it’s been awesome learning, but this week I get to teach others about authentic assessment.
