Course Summary

Assessment , as far as the educational system is concerned , is all about accountability , the willingness to take the responsibility for results and the willingness to adapt changes if it means affecting more gains in student learning and achievement . However , it should not be all about following what the curriculum and the standards say . In to see the improvement and growth of every student in all levels , the teacher needs to be willing to

try out new strategies . I was one who seeks and explores new things that are far from the traditional and stereotypical methods of teaching . This method has proven to be effective for me since I often get positive feedbacks from my co-teachers . They say that I am able to keep the lesson interesting which is good but they noticed that I tend to exclude effective assessment . According to Wiggins providing opportunities , incentives , and requirements can greatly motivate teachers to do more research . To specifically and carefully examine what worked and what did not work on the most and least engaging assessments made a huge difference in the result . I found it effective to assign group projects and have other groups professionally evaluate other groups . This helped train students since they are given the opportunity to act as the teacher by judging their classmates ' works . This is an authentic learning process
