Assessments! Are they really showing what students have learned in the classroom and from your teaching?
As I was reading this article it reminds me of my own teaching and the types of assessment tools I use. What a very informative post and related to Common Core which was also has a huge impact. As we are working in our distrcit to adopt the standards it was very intersting to read about ways to make assessments that are meaningful and measurable using different formats. I like the criteria for designing asssessment tools as it takes into consideration multiple learning styles. Overall a GREAT article with information to start thinking about as we preapare for the new school year.
So thinking about assessments we as teachers need to remember our students and what you want them to learn from your lessons.
I also posted about this article this week, as did a few others. It is obviously something we as educators feel is important--seems like all we hear/think about is assessment assessment assessment :)Glad none of us are alone!
