Keynote by Tom Schimmer at 2020 CEESA Assessment Summit
In this two part session, Tom will highlight the important assessment fundamentals that ensure the accurate assessment of the critical 21 century competencies. In part 1, Tom will demonstrate how and why six important assessment tenets remain essential despite the ongoing shift toward 21st century skills. Specifically, the topics of assessment design, valid and reliable interpretation of results, performance assessment, and establishment of success criteria will be discussed. In part 2, Tom will connect the assessment tenets to the competencies, specifically the 4Cs of critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, and communication. Through both foundational ideas and examples, Tom will make it clear to participants that sound assessment practices are the key to creating a 21st century learning experience.
