The web-based Futures of Assessment forecast examines how asset-based formative assessment could change the way we think about and use assessment – as both educators and learners
Dig into the driving forces of change impacting assessment
Explore possible futures and approaches in action that sit at the intersection of two critical uncertainties: artificial intelligence and school quality
Imagine a future where all students like assessment. In 2034, that could be possible.
Futures of Assessment, a collaboration between Assessment for Good and KnowledgeWorks, imagines four worlds where assessment centers dialogue, individualized support, student agency, powerful learning opportunities and community connections.
Set in 2034, these futures aren’t the same, but in all of them, assessment transforms into a tool for freedom, access and opportunity. We call this asset-based formative assessment.
