Integrating Chapter 5

Chapter 5: Effective assessments are key to becoming a good teacher. Assessing student work will not only tell you that you are teaching the needed content but the you are doing it in a way that students learn, remember and fits their learning style. In the chapter some specific examples were given of ways to assess students along with good assessment tips (snapshot of learning, give feedback often inauthentic and authentic work, etc.). This is important so you can mark students learning, give specific feedback so students know that they are doing well, or what they need to improve on. This will hopefully encourage students to become better self-evaluators as well.
