Assessments the UDL Way

Diagnostic and Formative Assessments are often administered BEFORE a unit of instruction.

Standardized Tests are universally designed.

Incorporating UDL assessments can happen overnight.

UDL Assessment could include providing choices in which students could express their knowledge.

Teachers should actively involve students in learning.

Summative Assessments measure student growth since the formative assessment.

A beneficial assessment strategy is explaining "why" students are taking the test.

Teachers should never model test-taking strategies, explain question formats, etc.

Teachers have to assume that students have the necessary skills to be successful on tests.

Teachers should never provide an example of a test or exam when reviewing for an exam.
