• Use formative assessments to gain insight into students’ knowledge and aptitude

• Maintain awareness of cognitive load and the limitations of active working memory in lesson and unit planning

• Design classes to incentivize thinking hard

• Use multiple modalities for teaching and assessment

• Apply novelty, relevance, and choice to increase student engagement

• Explain the benefit of struggling during the learning process, and design lessons where students make and learn from mistakes

• Articulate the difference between formative assessment and summative assessment

• Be able to give high-quality feedback

• Design opportunities for students to act on feedback soon after receiving it

• Understand the differences between feedback given at the start of the year versus the end of the year
