Use effective assessment in STEM to monitor student progress, provide feedback and inform future pathways for student learning. Within integrated STEM learning sequences, you may plan assessment using a variety of strategies such as:

• teacher observations and feedback: both informal and informal as the students interact with the design challenge
• peer and self-assessment: regular sharing and review of ideas, prototypes, and final products
• collaborative activities: group work, group discussions, presentations of their STEM innovations
• practical activities: investigations, programming digital technologies, discussions.

As STEM includes cross-curricular outcomes, opportunities to monitor student progress may be planned within specific key learning areas.
