When I signed up to write this article, I had no idea of what to look for or what an "assessment" was. Well, to my surprise, I had been assessing the students that I work with in the classroom for nine years and did not know it.

I have had to get work together for the students that I work with at the last minute. I would make worksheets with true/false, matching, or questions. I had no idea that what I was doing was assessing them; I was just getting work together for them to do. But now that I know I will be more aware of what the students know and what they need more help on.

I wished that I had done more research because I see where a lesson on assessments was done. I would have focused more on other kinds of assessments, students being assessed and a more indepth evaluation on assessments.

I am glad to have done this paper, because there is so much that I did not know and now I can use this information to guide me and be aware of what I have to do to see to it that the students that I teach will benefit from my teaching and to put these assessments to practice and see which ones work and which ones do not.

I liked the content of your article and it is most important for teachers to havr a fimr grasp on why we assess our students and what those results can mean to us. I think it is somehting that we assume that assessment is just summative and lets us know if they learned what we were trying to teach but formative can give us clues to evaluate our methods and adapt our lesson based on what results we get.

One of the hardest things for me to learn after taking a non-traditional route to teacher license has been assessing students appropriately. This article helped reinforce things I have learned in this class about properly assessing students. Knowing what type of assessment you are giving and the correct way to execute the questions.

It is essential for educators of today to be knowledgeable about the various types of assessment. I typically gravitate more towards the formative way of assessing students, I think it caters to the class and their specific needs rather than adhering to state standards which is important, but student's progress is the ultimate goal. Teachers practicing this form of assessment our skilled in their abilities to swiftly change priorities to correlate with the needs of their class, something I hope to be successful at.

Great job on your article. I think the content was great. You might want to fix some of the formating, also it may be a good idea to add a few more side bars to break up the text. Great job overall though!Scrai010 (talk) 02:19, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
