Surfacing Brilliance Through Meaningful Science Assessment

EBK: SURFACING BRILLIANCE THRGH MEANINGFUL SCIENCE ASSESSMNT

Professional Development

Education & Professional Development

<P>Science education is evolving, and our assessments should, too. The Next Generation Science Standards and similar standards based on <EM>A Framework for K-12 Science Education</EM> ushered in a bold vision focused on figuring out phenomena and problems, sensemaking that mirrors how scientists work, and real-world relevance. Although instruction has started to shift, assessment has often lagged behind, failing to capture or support the depth, complexity, and creativity of meaningful science learning. This essential guide helps educators and leaders rethink how we understand, evaluate, and support K-12 science learning. Written by a leading voice in science education and assessment, the book offers a clear roadmap for designing assessments that surface the brilliance of young people meaningful, equitable ways, grounded in the lived realities of today's classrooms. Drawing on four core priorities - sensemaking, relevance, assets, and opportunity - it empowers educators to move beyond traditional tests to create assessments that reveal what students truly understand and can do. Bridging cutting-edge research and practical implementation, it offers: concrete strategies for using phenomena, problematizing strategies, and purposeful prompts to drive authentic sensemaking; frameworks and tools to develop relevant, asset-based assessments that reflect students' strengths and experiences and are specific to a classroom context; approaches to using data for targeted feedback and deeper learning; and a forward-looking chapter on how to meaningfully integrate AI into science assessment. Whether you're a K-12 teacher, instructional leader, or assessment designer, this volume will transform how you think about using assessment to understand, evaluate, and support student learning. The guide ensures that educators and leaders assess students in ways that center student brilliance, embrace innovation, and inspire learners to achieve ambitious learning goals in science.</P>
