Another Assessment!?

As individuals, our experiences shape who we are and where we go. Through those experiences, at several moments in time, we are assessed. We can be assessed by our surroundings, at school or at home, and so on. There is indeed many forms of assessment. It is in our human nature to always want to succeed in any form. So, what is my take on an assessment?

As an educator, I believe the assessment should always take into consideration the following three points:

1. Students must be given the opportunity to express themselves in multiple ways.

2. Assessment must be fair, valid, reliable, and authentic.

3. The assessment criteria upon which a student is being assessed should always be clearly defined.

Although the term in itself, 'assessment', is usually perceived with a negative connotation, it is our role as educators to promote students to grow and learn from assessment. Assessment should provide personalized feedback, which will then complete the learning process.
