Activity 2

This activity demonstrated that there are numerous ways we can assess students in numerous areas. Some are so simple to us that we don't even view them as assessment. For example, observing a child at work can gather a lot of information about that child. Assessment does not  only deals with with students' academic progress but also with their social and personal development as well.Teachers are afforded the opportunity to produce well rounded students by using different forms of assessment effectively.

  1. Well said. I agree with you but I do have a question. How do you record your assessment in terms of assigning a grade form what you observed?

    1. Sruti, thanks for your comment.When I mentioned observation, I was not thinking about assigning grades because that is difficult to do.I was thinking about gathering Information such as the child's learning styles and social development and interaction with other students.
