This I Believe Now
In this class, I've learned to be love the idea of being flexible with assessment tools and to understand that formative assessment is a key element, as things change rapidly in school, yearly, daily, and down to the minute. I've enjoyed having time to reflect upon my own ever-changing idea of what learning is and what we need to do, as teachers, to cultivate and appreciate our students' learning process. So, one might say, I've learned to "let it go" and let assessment be this wonderfully ongoing and enlightening process.

Wonderful post, Lesley. I loved how you play on the "This I Believe" genre by talking about how assessment itself needs to be believable. I could imagine your students giving a "This I Believe" stamp to your assessments.
ReplyDeleteDespite your humble comments about not being perfect at assessing, your contributions to this class were enormous. It was great having this semester with you and I hope to see you in a class again!
