From the Archives: Using Assessment to Nurture Creativity
Description
In this episode from the archives of Art Ed Radio, Tim Bogatz is joined by author and assessment expert Katie White to explore how thoughtful assessment practices can nurture a culture of creativity in the art room.
Katie shares insights from her decades in education and explains how assessment, when reimagined, can become a powerful tool for decision-making, reflection, and growth. Together, they discuss how to create safe spaces for risk-taking, why delaying criteria setting can spark deeper exploration, and how observation and conversation are just as valid as portfolios or rubrics.
Whether you're just beginning to think about assessment or looking for new strategies to integrate it into your creative classroom, this conversation is full of practical advice and fresh perspectives.
