Assessment Strategies

 

In order for student learning to be maximized it is essential that not only students be assessed but teachers as well. If teachers can understand how their management of the class can be improved it can exponentially increase students learning as well. The reason that student assessment is critical is to check whether the exit outcomes have been achieved. This feedback allows the teacher to make adjustments to their teaching, which should improve student learning in future lessons.

 
Teacher Assessment Strategies
•	Formal Assessment: In order to maximize learning in a classroom the teacher must have good organization skills, offer appropriate levels and types of feedback, and make sure students are on task for a large portion of the class. Recourses found here are easy to fill out and provide a teacher with quantitative information about their teaching methods.

•	Informal Assessment: By talking with experienced teachers and colleagues about your teaching style you can gain a great deal of information about your teaching methods.
