Assessments That Motivate
Captions available
The idea
Motivating assessments have clear, attainable criteria, meaningful tasks, some choice, and challenge that is achievable; choice supports self-determination but can lower reliability when students do different tasks.
In practice
Students choose to show understanding of a novel through an essay or a recorded talk scored on one rubric.
Where people slip
Challenge motivates only when success is within reach.
