Looking for new ideas on ways to assess students or have them demonstrate what they know?

In the classroom, I was always looking for ways to change things up...spice it up...improve the lesson...improve the assessment.  As you enter a new semester and are looking for new ways to assess or check for understanding- Check out this guide from Edutopia (@edutopia).  It is AWESOME!  There are lots of great ideas on activities that can check for understanding and become a form of assessment.  Some of these I thought would be neat to use on Non-Traditional Days, to check for the understanding of previously taught content- sort of a flashback review...

Happy planning for the new semester!
