Understanding the language of assessment will help you effectively communicate with your administrators and school community about the important learning that happens in the art room and how it is best measured. Learn to advocate for your students, your discipline, and your department when you are expected to demonstrate student growth data. Learn about valid performance-based assessments, and how they can be implemented in the art and design room at all levels and in all classes.
