My Thoughts...
Assessment is a broad topic, with many layers to consider. It can range from standardized tests to behavioral tracking to conversations with families. One of my key takeaways is the value of using assessment to improve instruction. Data should inform how we adjust pacing, differentiate instruction, and support individual student needs.

I also believe that involving families in assessment conversations, primarily through student-led conferences, can foster stronger partnerships and build trust. Ultimately, the goal of assessment should always be to enhance learning and empower all stakeholders.
