The document discusses how to use Howard Gardner's theory of multiple intelligences to assess student achievement. It suggests using creative, authentic assessments that allow students to demonstrate understanding, make real-world connections, and apply knowledge in new situations. Some examples of assessments mentioned are reflective tasks, performance-based assessments, student choice and involvement, applying concepts to solve real problems, and using rubrics. The goal is to measure in-depth understanding and skills rather than just memorization.
