[1.6] How can we assess students during PBL experiences?

Hey impact makers. Recently, I met with a group of teachers to refine an upcoming project-based learning unit plan.  We began discussing ways to assess students during the learning experience. One teacher expressed concerns about assigning grades or implementing assessments. The teacher wanted students to enjoy the process, and she didn't want them to earn low grades and become unmotivated or disinterested in projects. That is a valid concern.  I responded, "How can we design an assessment process that prepares students for success?" In this episode, I'm sharing six ways to assess students during project-based learning experiences.Resource: Read the accompanying article for this episode. Support the show Thank you for listening!
