chapter 3

Abstract

In this chapter the book discuses how we as teachers can have good assessments in our classrooms. This chapter talks about pre-assessment, formative assessment, and summative assessment. All have one thing is common, we as teachers should have our end goal in mind when formulating or doing anyone of these strategies. This chapter also deals with student readiness in learning the material, how to design students assessments, and how to carry out assessments of students. This chapter also suggests that teachers give students the opportunity to redo assignments, and know the answers and questions on the test in advance of the test.

Reflection

We all thought that this book made sense when it came to student having the opportunity to redo work because none of us always are 100 percent all the time. We all also agree that the avoidance of Fluff assignments is key in our classrooms we as students hated the fluff when we were in high school, why would we want to give it to our kids. We also agree that students should be able to know specifically what is going to be covered on the test. Because it is not fair to just tell students to study three months worth of information in one week, for one test. And we all agree that students should be able to show their knowledge on multiple forms of assessment, not just one test al the end of the quarter or semester.
