3D Science Assessments

Microcredential ID : 3015

Stack

Secondary Science Endorsement: Three-Dimensional Science and Engineering

Credits

0.5 USBE Credit

Description

This microcredential focuses on educators' consistent and effective use of Three Dimensional Assessments to inform instruction. Three Dimensional Assessments help demonstrate student understanding and proficiency to explain phenomena and solve design challenges. Assessments require students to apply the science and engineering practices (their skills) to reveal their understanding of disciplinary core ideas (the content) and crosscutting concepts. (the big ideas that connect all sciences.) Formative and summative assessments are both necessary to assess student understanding and performance.
