ASSESSING THE STUDENT
Shawn Ward
"Assessment is not about you as a teacher; it is about your students"
I think this statment had to be made because so many teachers forget what they should be focusing on, which is the student's well being. My mindset has been validated, because I already felt like some teachers don't realize the assessment is about the student.
"Defending our assessment practices"
" Are you using an assessment you have no idea how to deliver, but are afraid to ask for help?" I think this one is a very valuable statement, and I could see how this could be incorporated in a future practice, because It would allow me to ask for help, and know that it is acceptable.
Succeeded/failed
I hope to succeed with always having my student in my view, and knowing or willing to learn what their needs are.
