“Will this be on the test?” It’s a question that reveals a lot about how students see learning. This session explores how outcomes-based assessment can move classrooms away from mark-driven mindsets and toward clarity, equity, and meaningful learning. We’ll tackle common myths, offer practical tools, and show how aligning assessment to clear outcomes builds both confidence and competence for students and teachers.
