Module 4 - Activity 2 - What we assess

Assessment is very important to the teaching learning process as it allows for growth of learning and teaching through reflection, planning, feedback and self-assessment.  It is necessary that assessment procedures and practices are structured to the types of learners in the classroom and not the one size fits all that we teachers tend to utilize.  Teachers are to have set criteria and standards by which to fairly assess students, remembering the ultimate goal is to ensure that each student achieve some measure of success.
