Universally-Designed Assessments

 

We can have great objectives, flexible materials, multimodal representations, and still miss the boat if we don't look at assessments. This is a large area, and Rose & Meyer provide a good treatment in their text (chapter 7). Assessments are critical to address because a student can learn and we may not realize it if an assessment doesn't allow the learner to demonstrate competency.

 

A focus on universally designed assessments also enhances the message about goals and objectives that clearly separate ends from means.
