Assessing Students' Learning

Alberta Assessment Consortium 

1. Teacher as planner: determining which outcomes to focus on
2. Teacher as coach: "scaffolding" -constructivism -student centered planning
3. Teacher as judge: gathering data to base evaluation on how much they've learned; judgement of learning that is taking place (evidence)

I believe that every teacher needs to take these jobs very seriously. By following their directions it makes teaching a very rewarding job. Mastering these skills will assure the best education for your students and the best experience for yourself.
