A Roadmap to Effective Assessment Design | Teaching Channel

In this course, you’ll explore practical, research-based strategies to design assessments that are clear, purposeful, and engaging. Using Nicole Dimich’s Design in Five framework, you’ll learn how to balance technical precision with relational trust so assessments truly inform instruction and support student growth. Build assessment practices that empower students to understand where they are in their learning, where they are headed, and how to close the gap. Whether you want to rethink grading, strengthen formative assessment, or design tasks that authentically measure learning, this course provides a roadmap toward assessments that matter.


This course format builds from module to module in a way that allows you to work through each of the essential ideas in smaller, more focused segments. You’ll find the same great resources and applicable assignments, distributed over 10 modules.
