Episode Synopsis

In this episode, we share our insights on what is Assessment of Learning, reviewing summative and interim assessments, as well as their purpose based on our experiences as teachers. We do so through the analogy of taking a vacation, focusing on the destination while making pit-stops along the route. We discuss who the users of this assessment type are, and identify some of the different ways in which Assessment of Learning can be effectively employed.
