Philosophy+of+Assessment

I believe that assessment is one of many instruments that measure students' achievement in learning. Assessments should be aligned with state and local standards and should reflect unit objectives. Assessments should diagnose students' strengths and weaknesses and consequently inform goal setting and future lesson planning. Students should be assessed in a variety of ways but also assessed frequently using a plethora of formative assessments to enhance the potential for success and utilize summative assessment to gauge students' growth.
