Formative Assessment Design:

The potential difference in project-based learning

Formative assessment is a well-established part of any learning experience, especially a project-based learning experience. Yet projects often fail not because students are missing the Attributes, Skills, and Knowledge/Standards (ASKS) necessary to succeed, but because we are missing how our learners are approaching the project.

Unlike traditional approaches to PBL that rely on pausing projects to engage in traditional assessments, Project ARC’s proprietary Five Stages of Project Assessment help you design learning experiences with assessments that are authentic to the project and the learner’s journey through it.
