The idea of differentiation of instruction is a common one, but why stop differentiating there? We spend a great deal of time providing each athlete with what they need to be most successful, yet often give everyone the same assessment.  The non-linear development of the athletes in our classes lends itself to the need for differentiating assessments as well.

“Differentiated assessment can lead to enhanced student learning as they use their current understanding to discover, construct and incorporate new knowledge, understanding and skills. It involves teachers considering a range of assessment opportunities to suit the needs, interests, abilities and prior learning of individual students.” – Education Standards Authority

In this course teachers will be exposed to the Athlos Movement & Character Program SBG summative assessment rubrics and much more in order to have a complete understanding of the purpose behind differentiating assessment, setup, and implementation of a differentiated assessment.

In this course learners will:

• Understand basic concepts of assessment design.
• Understand and design assessment rubrics.
