  Case: Social Studies assessments
Mr. Craft has been told he needs to incorporate more varied assessments. Traditionally, he has always given a unit test with multiple choice questions as a culminating assessment. His administration has told him to enhance the learning for his students through assessment options. What would you suggest he try?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
Mr. Craft might consider utilizing assessment methods that would encourage assessment for learning such as portfolio assessments or project-based assessments. These types of assessments become part of the learning experience itself, and they allow for students to demonstrate mastery of learning objectives through products and performance rather than taking a traditional paper-and-pencil test.

Comments: I agree that having the students work on projects could cause a better understanding of the objectives through adding their own creative touch. This may also be able to free up more class time by allowing the students to work at home more creatively.
