What if assessment wasn’t about ranking, sorting, or proving learning, but about supporting it? In this episode, David Spooner challenges traditional assessment practices and invites IB educators to rethink the purpose of grades, exams, and feedback. Drawing on research and classroom experience, he explores what a more human, meaningful, and learning-centered assessment could look like in practice.
