Assessment and Evaluation

 

 

From the very first day of school, it is important for teachers to get to know their students. This does not mean only learning their names, but also getting to know them as individuals - their likes and dislikes, strengths and weaknesses. Not only will this make students feel welcome and comfortable in the class, but it is incredibly useful to the teacher. Getting to know the students in the class helps you determine which learning styles to consider when planning lessons, which topics to cover throughout the year and how to make individual connections with the students.

 

When planning to assess student's work, it is essential for the teacher to have a clear stance on assessment. Who am I assessing? What am I trying to assess? How will I assess it? Who will be doing the assessing? When will I complete this assessment?  While there are many possible answers to these questions, answering them thoroughly before each assessment will benefit both the students and the teacher.
