A Vision for Science Education
Science Assessment

How can science understanding be monitored?

Effective assessment in today’s science education emphasizes using multiple forms of evidence - such as performance tasks, models, and student explanations - to capture three‑dimensional learning. The best practices focus on assessing not just what students know, but how they apply scientific practices and reasoning in authentic, real‑world contexts.
