The Role Of Assessment In Teaching And Learning

Assessment features in three equivalent elements which are a teacher, student and student self assessment. A teacher assessment is when you want to become an educator but you're frequently getting evaluated with your academic and classroom performance.However, before becoming a full time teacher, you need to pass a state teacher license test, attend classroom observations and completed written summaries of what you have learned about the academic subjects, classroom lessons, and teaching methods that relate to students, families and colleagues. In a student assessment, the  teacher provides data about the learning process of every student in the classroom through the school year. The majority of schools expected teachers to assign grades, complete report cards, make parent meetings and provide an oral or written feedback to individual students and families in a format of comments and suggestions about their academic work. Teachers benefit greatly in a student self-assessment when students are not submissive recipients  of your assessments, but active partners in the evaluation of their own learning.

           Digital Teaching Portfolio

A digital teaching is a collection of education and professional material stored in an electronically. A digital teaching portfolio helps an educator to organized material which will demonstrate their growth as educators over time. When should you begin building a digital teaching portfolio? A digital teaching portfolio should be built as soon as you start teaching, its a way to write down all the activities and ideas from classes, field experiences, and community service. Documenting a professional learning accomplishments in the digital teaching portfolio will provide a personal reflection on your development as an educator helping have a better chance of getting a teaching spot in the school of your choose.

Involving Students In Learning And Assessment

If learning is to be successful, assessment must be practice in the classroom by both the teachers and student from K-12. The school's missions are to prepare  student to be active and pro-active members in society. The teachers who recognize the irony in this practice encourage student participation and decision-making about the many different aspects  of school and classroom operations. All students need learning partnerships in which they work together with teachers developing a teacher to student relationship. In learning partnerships, students have the primary responsibility to ask questions, research information , practice skills , create presentations and use technology in all facets of  learning. Meanwhile, teachers primary responsibility is to guide his or her students studies, explaining the academic material and support the student  by differentiating teaching..
