There a many tools available to assess student learning. Teach the Earth has assembled information about various assessment tools and techniques. While the examples focus on geoscience, they are all applicable to any subject. This page also has introductory resources and a collection of assessment resources.

Spend some time exploring Teach the Earth‘s resources at your own pace. Then spend some time reflecting on the following questions:

• Which assessments do you currently use?
• Were there any new types of assessments?
• Based on what you have learned, can you think of ways to assess student learning more effectively?
• Do you think certain outcomes are better assessed by certain tools or techniques? Why or why not?
