Digital Badge J - Chapter

This chapter included many statements about assessments. Assessments when it first comes to my mind would be for students, and that would be right, but there are two assessments that were discussed, student and teacher assessments. Student assessments are something that teachers will be using often, and as of right now assessments are a huge part of the curriculum, and also determine a lot of things for the teachers. Students assessments are used during the school year as well as at the end of the year. In Florida the FCAT is a huge test that evaluate students and has been used for many years. Teacher assessments are a big deal as well. For future teachers a think that the pressure will be very overwhelming at times n=because we will constantly be assessed especially during our final internship. We will be evaluated out many different things I am sure, and I am eager to see how my assessments will go. If teacher assessments are anything like student assessments then we all should be prepared for a tough evaluation from peers, and academic administrators. The last concept that was described in the book was reflections. According to Maloy, Verock-O'Loughlin, Edwards, and Woolf, reflection is " a process of self-assessment in which a learner examines past actions to identify what to maintain or change (p.281)." I think that this concept will be very useful in the future for me because I like to fix my mistakes, and by reflecting on my work I will be able to see just what I can improve on to make me a better and more successful teacher.
