Listen "Purpose of Assessment"
Episode Synopsis
Before we launch into our first series on Assessment Methods, we wanted to take a moment to explore just what the purpose of assessment is. After an odd-but-hopefully-insightful potty-training analogy, each host shares a different model for what assessment means: A hamburger, the latin roots of the word, and a three-legged stool. We then chat about what these models reveal about assessment.
