Students are most successful when they know how they’re going to be assessed, are able to explain their thinking and reflect. Standardized testing should be minimal! |
In order for our students to thrive in our economic and social environments they have to be critical thinkers with a knowledge base. The balanced approach allows students to learn from different modalities that can help them compete, work with others |
Performance, project, problem-based assessments |
While each has benefits I believe a combination is the best approach. It then provides opportunities for each child to draw upon their specific strengths. |
I am not a fan of the amount of "testing" we do. |
With project-based activities |
The more data that is collected, the more comprehensive the assessment will be. You left out an assessment that would assess the student's mental and emotional well-being. |
