Assessment Culture: What It Is and Why It Matters
- Assessment is crucial in gaining insights into student thinking and learning in the post-COVID pandemic educational setting.
- Building a strong assessment culture in schools is equally important as thoughtful assessment design and implementation for student success.
- The National Center for the Improvement of Educational Assessment (NCIEA) is collaborating with ISTE to explore the characteristics of a healthy assessment culture.
- Assessment culture is shaped by the underlying beliefs and expectations that students, educators and leaders have concerning assessment practices.
- A school's assessment culture can influence whether assessment practices positively impact teaching and learning.
- Resources are available to help leaders in school districts prioritize the best practices of assessment including adopting a growth mindset and formative assessments.
- Due to the potential impact of assessment culture on practice, educators and leaders need to identify the cultural aspects of their school or district.
- Understanding and changing a school's assessment culture takes time but can begin by asking people how they feel about the assessments used in their school.
- Examining assessment culture through conversations can help schools identify factors that support or constrain the effective use of assessment evidence.
- ISTE is partnering with assessment experts to explore assessment culture and refine a set of assessment culture continua to support districts in identifying key aspects of assessment culture and facilitate positive impacting practice.
