The constructivist teacher looks at assessment of knowledge differently from a traditional teacher. A traditional teacher creates a test to assess that they student “knows the right answer”. A constructivist teacher asks the students to create a project to illustrate what they have learned. The teacher starts with what concept he/she wants the students to learn and ways that demonstrate the student has learned that concept.
