These are just a few examples of how I have assessed students with the most recent being predominantly digital. As you can see, I use a variety of different question-based/discussion protocols to help support comprehending student ability. Reflection is a key component of my assessment strategies.

 I follow the design of SCLA, a circle of questions/prompts to ask students throughout the entirety of the unit/project.  These are tools to help students develop a stronger connection to the work we do in the art room.  I also often have students document different stages of the project so that I can identify formative and summative assessment work in both process and product.

 Writing in the art room is expected and encouraged.  It wasn't always easy but as students started to understand that communication helped them with their overall development and connection to their projects, it changed the whole class perspective and value in their work. 

I expect students to have a mutual partnership in the communication and dialogue of the class.  Various ways of communication strategies helps students look at the big and the small learning experiences that go along with creating art.  This is the embodiment of equitable student-centered art learning.
