The Future of Assessment in K12 Education

by InstructureCast

In this episode of Educast 3000, hosts Ryan Lufkin and Melissa Loble engage with Dr. Jeff Faust, Chief Technology Innovation Officer at Chesapeake Public Schools, to explore the future of assessment in K-12 education. They discuss the evolution of student assessment, the impact of technology and AI, and the challenges educators face in navigating political landscapes while striving for authentic assessment methods. Dr. Faust emphasizes the importance of understanding the 'why' behind educational practices and the need for personalized learning pathways for students. He advocates for a culture that embraces AI as a tool for enhancing education rather than a threat, and discusses the necessity of aligning educational values with community needs.
