Saskatchewan Teachers Talk

Assessment is one of the most powerful tools educators have for supporting student learning. When used thoughtfully, it not only measures what students know, understand, and are able to do but also informs instruction, provides meaningful feedback, and helps students become active participants in their own learning.

This website brings together the voices and experiences of practicing teachers as they reflect on the many dimensions of classroom assessment. Through a collection of video conversations, teachers share their approaches, successes, challenges, and insights from their own classrooms.

The videos explore a wide range of assessment topics, including formative and assessments, providing effective feedback, assessment tools, differentiating assessment practices, involving students in self- and peer assessment, favourite assignments, common challenges, triangulation, reporting, recording and organizing data, technology and assessment, and advice for new teachers.
Rather than presenting a single “right” way to assess, these conversations highlight the thoughtful decision-making that effective assessment requires in diverse classroom contexts.

Whether you are a teacher candidate beginning to develop your assessment literacy, an experienced educator looking for fresh ideas, or a teacher educator supporting the professional learning of others, these videos offer opportunities to connect theory with authentic classroom practice. We invite you to engage with these stories, reflect on your own assessment beliefs and practices, and join the ongoing conversation about how assessment can best support learning for all students.
