Test is a four-letter word.
That’s what every student learns early in their educational careers. Pop quizzes, tests, or standardized tests of any kind are trouble and should be avoided at all costs.

In this episode, Dr. Lauritzen talks about the some of the problems teachers face when planning assessment a gives a few suggestions on what to do.
