To start off with I would like to share a little conversation with Ty the T-rex about Assessment. Any chance to share my views on something is welcomed. The conversation went something like this:
1- What is your full name? Morganne Connick
2- Hey, at what level are you planning to teach?: Secondary
3- What do you think is your favorite subject to teach?: Special Education
4- How important do you believe ASSESSMENT is in education?: 8
5- Describe what assessment and evaluation mean to you.: Assessment to me means more than just marks on a page. I firmly believe it is a way to reflect on your own teaching and what students are learning. Are students succeeding or does it look like they are struggling? So how can I as a teacher adjust my teaching for students to reflect growth in their assessment?
6- At this point, how much are you enjoying this assessment?: Pretty good.
7- Why do you think assessment and evaluation are used within the education system?: Short answer, assessment is used to gauge where students are at in their understanding, and in turn to this reflects marks. The long answer is a way for teachers to observe strengths and areas which can use improvement. This is why formative and summative are so important.
8- Describe a couple of good assessments, and not-so-good assessments, that you have experienced as a student. How did these assessments affect you?: I personally struggle with test-taking, it was and is something I dread doing. I find tests or exams as a not-so-good assessment. A good assessment in my books is something that allows students to use creativity and their interests. Tests are fine but it needs to be a mixture of both tests and creative assignments.
