=Welcome to my Assessment Portfolio!=

My understanding of assessment has grown exponentially in five weeks! I have learned.......

1. The Keys to Quality Classroom Assessment 2. The differences between formative and summative assessment. 3. The Summary of the Key Differences in Assessment of and for learning! 4. The Assessment Development Cycle 5. Guidelines for Written Response Assessments 6. ALL About Rubrics! 7. How to Organize the Recording Keeping System and Why! 8. How to Evaluate Grading Practices 9. The Types of and Uses For Portfolios 10. Conference Options for and about Students

Through all this learning, I have come to the conclusion that my philosophy of assessment would be:
==//Everything// that a student does can be utilized in the assessment of their learning - nothing should be discounted. Always watch for indicators of "getting it" or __not__ "getting it". If you truly assess a student, then you can truly open their door for learning. If I were to post a "motto" on my wall of assessment, it would be:==

= Assessment not only reveals what a student knows but what they can do with what they know!!! =
