Barriers to Using High Quality Classroom Assessments

Mo Paluzzi, Amanda Schwartz, Lee Goodwyn, Carrie Grome

Making use of all the information you have learned about assessment might prove difficult unless you identify barriers to using high quality classroom assessments that exist in your classroom and in your school.

Using a word processor, create a table like the one below. Then, list all barriers to using high quality assessments in your own teaching situation. Once you have brainstormed all the barriers that exist, try to determine what you might do to eliminate each of the barriers.

When your table is complete share it with someone in your cohort group. Exchange ideas and do some editing. When you are satisfied that your table is complete, make sure your course professor gets a copy.
