Holistic assessments are learning tools that can be leveraged by teachers to ensure students achieve desired learning objectives. Traditionally, assessments have focused on external demonstrations of learning through tests, but holistic assessments take a broader view and define assessment as gathering diverse information to develop a deep understanding of what students know and can do. Holistic assessments are most valuable when they are used to stimulate new learning, are authentic to life experiences, promote positive consequences for students, help students understand their own growth, and expand rather than limit opportunities. The document provides examples of rubrics and criteria teachers can use to implement holistic assessments and encourage reflection when demonstrating the flipped classroom model.
