Creating a Purposeful Assessment System
A Chapter Excerpt from the Purposeful Assessment Playbook

Design framework for creating and scaling a purposeful assessment system.

A Purposeful Assessment System is designed to capture the full range of student learning and growth while ensuring that assessments are not only focused on academic achievement but also on developing key life skills.

Each assessment type is strategically selected and integrated into a system that is manageable to implement, engaging for students, places them at the center, and is both meaningful and purposeful.
