This article reminded me how important it is to plan lessons by first thinking about what we want students to learn and how we’ll know they’ve learned it. I like how it emphasizes using real-world tasks to see what kids can really do, not just relying on tests. It helped me think about using different ways to check for understanding so all students have a chance to show what they know.

One tool I often use is ThinkTech, especially with young learners. After modeling and creating a shared experience, I use ThinkTech for independent work as a real-time assessment. It keeps students engaged and gives me a clear picture of their learning.
