Assessment and the 4Cs

In this Edutopia article by Heather Wolpert-Gawron, she mentions the 4Cs as they relate to assessment.

As we have learned in a previous course on assessment, we fully understand that they must be reliable, valid, fair, authentic, level appropriate and always about what has been covered previously. I had not been introduced of the 4Cs in this context before.

In this article, I learned about the concept of the 4Cs as they relate to 21^st Century teaching and learning, and how they (creativity, collaboration, critical thinking and communication) are related to assessment and evaluation.

This is very much in line with the new Bloom’s Taxonomy – very interesting!
