Description

This course enhances educators? ability to develop a conceptual framework of assessment procedures to improve their teaching techniques for the wide variety of learning styles found in the classroom today. Assessment is an important component of our educational system. However, many educators are now questioning the heavy emphasis on standardized tests and the decreasing attention to the value of classroom assessment. Dissatisfied with the current methods of assessment, and motivated by the desire to improve public education, educators, policy makers, parents, and community members are focusing increased attention on how we go about determining what our students know and can do, from kindergarten through grade 12.
