Flexible assessment supports inclusion because it:
Ensures equitable demonstration of learning
Inclusive classrooms contain learners with diverse abilities, needs, and ways of demonstrating knowledge.
Flexible assessment allows varied formats and methods, such as oral responses, projects, or extended time, so that every learner gets an equitable opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned.
Promoting unfair advantage, removing all evaluation, or encouraging bias would work against the fairness and equity that inclusion aims to achieve.
Therefore, flexible assessment supports inclusion because it ensures equitable demonstration of learning.
