Assessment, with Katie White

In this episode, Katie White draws on her more than 30 years of experience in education and frames assessment as a dynamic, ongoing process that drives learning forward. Our conversation with Katie is a powerful one about common misconceptions surrounding assessment, the importance of student agency, and why the way that we respond to assessment evidence matters more than the assessment itself.

Katie also shares practical insights on using qualitative data, embedding self-assessment, and creating classroom environments where mistakes are embraced as essential to growth. If you’re looking to rethink how assessment supports both teaching and learning, this episode offers a compelling and actionable perspective. Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.
