You’re in your classroom. Tomorrow is the first day of school. On your desk you have your lesson plan and your pacing guide. Your procedures and activities are prepared and then you come to the big “A”…ASSESSMENT. If this is you, let’s take a moment and demystify assessment in the instructional process.
This week in the institute, we have been discussing Common Core Standards and lesson plan design. Throughout the discussions, there continues to be a cloud surrounding assessment and its place in the instructional process. For any teacher, Pre-service or In-service, this can be a tricky and easily confusing topic. Much of what I know about assessment I learned from Rick Stiggins and Grant Wiggins, gentlemen who have revolutionized how we assess student knowledge, comprehension, and progression during instruction. So, let’s hear from these gentlemen as they explain the process of assessment in lesson design.
