Assessment

Below are several examples of assessments I designed as part of my work in EDU 355: Physical Education Curriculum: Planning & Practice. These assessments were thoughtfully integrated into various lessons that I taught, allowing me to evaluate student learning, track progress toward lesson objectives, and adapt instruction based on student needs and performance.
