Assessment Reimagined: What Have We Learned? Where Do We Go Next? | Educators Without Borders
The past school year has brought to the forefront what many would say are flaws in assessment and grading practices. As teachers and students persevered through constant changes to learning environments, unprecedented personal and professional challenges, and political upheaval across the nation, perhaps a silver lining to the struggles and strife have been the widespread acknowledgement that systems must change.

As a key example, assessments that harm students by exacerbating inequities, or grading practices that persist as proxies for privilege, must be overhauled, but how?
