Executive Director's Corner
Two-Stage Exams: High-Stakes Exams + Collaborative Learning
Traditional exams are often a ‘single point of failure’ that spikes student anxiety. But what if testing was actually… collaborative? I’ve been using Two-Stage Exams to add peer learning to my exams, all with minimal extra effort. Discover how this small shift can boost retention and help close equity gaps in your classroom.
Instructional Design Corner
