Yesterday we were asked to look at four of the eight different concepts and assessment strategies, and today we were asked to focus on what is import for teachers to know about these eight concepts.
After reading everyone's discussions about the different concepts I think some forms are way more effective in accurately assessing student performance than other forms, however I believe teachers should be aware and know about all the different concepts.
I think that teachers should definitely know NCLBA and IDEA because they are government regulated, even if they do not necessarily agree with the concepts behind the regulations. I think that as educators we need to definitely think critically and form an educated opinion and try to make the concepts work as best for you as possible.
I think for forms of assessment the more traditional, norm referenced, criterion, should start to be phased out. I think that educators can not clump students together, nor compare students to each other. I think educators should start to use more universal, alternative, standards based forms of assessment. To gather a baseline reading on each one of their students before assessing them. I really do not believe in comparing students to one another.
