I enjoy seeing teachers talk about assessment like this:

Ok, everyone take notes… and yes, I’ll let you use them on the test! 😜 pic.twitter.com/3b3ZKh0Veh

The best part of the clip is when Mrs. Lemon says, “I wrote better tests that focus less on recall and more on application.”

Although, I love the ending too… “At the end of the day, this is more like real life. There are very few circumstances where are you don’t know the answer to something and can’t look it up.”

What future are we preparing students for? How is our assessment demonstrating this? Are we showing what we value by what we measure, or are we just measuring what’s easy to measure?
