Using Skill Assessments in Illuminate

One of the awesome tools offered through the Yuma Union High School district is Illumine Data and Assessment. When teaching CTE often times we need to test students to see if they know a particular skill.  Illuminate offers a system that allows teachers to easily test a skill and best of all it collects the data for the teacher.  Often times you would think of using a skill assessment for the lower grade levels to assess reading and writing.  This could be applied to CTE by assessing a skill like "cutting a straight edge" or "proper dental care".  Collecting this data would allow for teachers to easily differentiate their classroom based on passing or failing a particular skill.
