assessment. The ability to correctly understand the progress the students have made during the lesson or unit. Using assessment, we can see if the students are still confused on the material or if they have had a lightbulb appear and understand the content that is being presented. Assessment is not just for the teacher it is also for the student so they also can understand that they have understood the material and can show that knowledge to there peers.
This is what assessment means to me inside the
classroom and is why using summative and formative assessment in the class is vital. It allows for both teacher and student to know that the classroom has been an effective learning environment for the content being presented and that progress has been made by everyone in that environment.
