Nontraditional Forms of Assessment
O'Neal, Brooke
Educational Horizons, v93 n3 p18-19 Feb-Mar 2015
The author discusses the benefits of nontraditional assessments and shares how she has used them in her 5th-grade classroom in rural South Carolina. The examples include doing a Gallery Walk, writing poetry, integrating the arts into other subjects, having students reenact historical scenes, using social media, and rewriting popular songs with lyrics that reflect course content.
