Want to use data to make decisions about your teaching and confirm student outcomes? Want to learn more about the different strategies, purposes and functions of assessments? The CATE team is developing new online resources, Teaching Guides, to provide evidence-based practices, in-depth examples and actionable steps to enhancing your teaching.

In this teaching guide on Assessment Planning, you will have the opportunity to learn about assessment strategies as well as review examples and evidence-based practices for assessment planning.

• Learning Principles & Frameworks.
• Engaged Teaching Strategies.
• Inclusive & Equity-Minded Teaching.
• Assessment & Grading Practices.
• Reflective Teaching.
• Digital Learning.
