Fair Isn't Always Equal: Chapter 4

Chapter 4: There are three important types of assessments that should be used in the classroom as they are beneficial to both teacher and student. Having students build a portfolio is a great way to engage them in their learning after products have been created. They can watch themselves grow as learners. Rubrics and self assessments were also suggested in this chapter. Rubrics are a good tool of communicating to students of what is expected of them and gives them a set of well thought out guidelines. Self assessments will help students establish goals and give feedback to educators. I plan to use all three of these assessments in my classroom as they seem to keep the teacher-student relationship close and in tune.
