At its best, STEM education challenges students to tackle complex, ill-defined and interdisciplinary problems, much like the problems professionals in the real world face every day. Both the process and products that result can be challenging to assess. In this workshop we will discuss best practices for assessing STEM units, with an emphasis on classroom assessment that supports learning rather than programmatic evaluation or high-stakes testing for accountability purposes. Teachers will leave with concrete strategies for implementing best practices in their classrooms and a list of technology tools that make it easier for teachers to collect, analyze and share assessment results.
