This document summarizes a presentation about taking a program-level approach to assessment and feedback to improve student learning. It discusses challenges with current assessment practices like high variation in assessment patterns, an over-reliance on summative assessment, and disconnected feedback. The presentation advocates reducing summative assessment to make room for more formative assessment. It provides case studies of programs that have successfully implemented program-level approaches, focusing on increasing formative assessment, linking formative and summative tasks, using feedback as a dialogue, and helping students internalize learning goals and standards. The goal is to shift from a transmission model of education to a more social constructivist model.
