Philosophy
of Assessment
I believe that all forms of assessment should be connected to the standards and benchmarks set forth by New York State. Therefore, my daily instructional techniques will help the student's to achieve mastery of these standards, and will be directly influenced by the assessments set forth by the district and by the state.
My classroom assessments will be both a valid, and reliable measure of the student's capabilities!
Tests, quizzes are formal assessments that are used in order to measure mastery. My homework assignments, though counting for a grade, is truly meant to be solely to represent growth of the students. Informal assessments take place on a daily basis through observation and class participation in discussions and group projects.
