Let's travel back in time. Imagine you are back in 5th grade. You are sitting in your English class and it is the weekly spelling test. You have studied all week to learn the new set of words anticipating a good grade on the evaluation of your knowledge. Bringing it back to today, evaluation of learning is crucial for students to recognize what they are doing well and what they need to improve. It also provides the teacher with feedback on what they need to improve to enhance learning.
Questions
1. Future administration; What criteria do you base teacher evaluations on?
2. For Cooperating Teacher; How have you utilized assessments to evaluate your teaching strategies?
3. For Virtual Mentors; What types of assessments do you use to evaluate student performance (i.e. unit exams, projects, presentations, etc)? Which type is more successful?
The most effective assessment is an authentic assessment that aligns directly with desired learning outcomes.
