Chapter 5: Consider Evidence of Learning in Diverse Classrooms

This chapter explains the different techniques and views that can positively assess students and their knowledge. After being in the classroom for three weeks, I can definitely say that assessment is important and shouldn’t be handled lightly or in the wrong context. The assessment type needs to match the assumed knowledge and there is never only one way to test students. Simple conversation can provide enough assessment for some kinds of curriculum such as movie analysis. In my classroom, I’ll try to limit my formal assessment such as tests and quizzes, and bank more on informal assessment such as in-class activities and homework.
