Reply To: Lesson 1: Why Assessment Practices Needed To Change – Discussion Prompt

[Amy Kopcznski]

Much like the other participants have responded, I am interested to see how virtual learning and not having the high stakes testing at the end of the year will change perceptions. I have tried various things throughout the years to give students the opportunity to redo a test or quiz but it always get lost, either by them trying to keep up with current work or me not being able to reach back for them at times.

I love this idea of using assessment only to “drive our instruction to help students learn the math concepts better and with more depth” and finding ways to incorporate it in a workable way in a classroom. I would say that is the question I have right now, but am sure this course will give me more insights on how to do that.
