Do you believe that assessment drives learning? If yes, are you perplexed about how to get started with effective classroom assessment? If yes, are you baffled by how to find reliable and robust techniques and tools? If yes, then the Web-based Field-tested Learning Assessment Guide (FLAG) can help you! Designed for science, mathematics, engineering, and technology faculty, the FLAG, using a guidebook as a model, includes a peer-reviewed selection of classroom assessment techniques (CATs) with enough background information to employ specific assessment tools. The CATs are especially designed for reformed courses, where traditional assessments may not measure outcomes of value. A selection of sample tools, validated in the field, is associated with each CAT. The FLAG’s goal is to assist faculty to grow more reflective about student learning outcomes. It provides guidance for physicists and astronomers to get jump-started in classroom assessment. I will explain the key features of the FLAG site, give hints for its use, and familiarize participants with examples of specific assessment techniques and tools from physics and astronomy. This work has been supported in part by National Science Foundation Grant REU #99-81155 at the University of New Mexico. The current URL of the FLAG is http://www.wcer.wisc.edu/nise/cl1.
