Prospective on Lopez's qoute and statement
Thoughts about Lopez's four questions
In the text (Lopez, 2013) stated, It’s not that the teachers don’t want to use data to drive instruction. It’s more that they are not giving the proper assessment and time, or held accountable to do so. At my place of employment they are not strict on assessment they focus more on making sure the student knows XYZ before they move on. We assess our students on our own throughout the school year. These four questions can help remind me why assessment is important and can help me make sure I am doing it correctly. Don’t be afraid to help ask for help when needed from colleagues. For example, if I have a student with a disability I may go to a colleagues who has a disability student as well for ideas on who to assess that student.
