There is a growing recognition that we need a variety of assessment types in schools. These different assessment methods will help bring balance to the emphasis on conventional paper-and-pen tests as well as cater to diverse student abilities and cover a wider range of learning outcomes. Careful consideration is therefore required in evaluating and selecting alternative assessments that can deliver on these intended outcomes. Frameworks for designing alternative assessments and rubrics will be presented in this course. Participants will also be introduced to the salient issues involved in such alternative assessments. At the end of the course, participants will be able to make informed choices based on fundamental assessment principles.

*MOE Participants include: MOE Participants & Direct Hires Staff from independent schools, Specialised Independent and Specialised Schools
