instructional or other decisions? As a teacher I use formative and summative data to drive my instruction. As I start with the state standard for the lesson and plan a formative assessment on that skill before a summative assessment. In years prior our school district used the platform of Performance Matter to collect data of that grade level standards three times a year. This type of information set in with Dr. Scott McLeod (20??) essential concepts. “The five major elements of data-driven instruction

description and oral presentation. All three tasks have certain similarities that according to Lee (2004) they are close to everyday life situations; enable the students to use as much L2 as possible. On the other hand, Sook (2003) research in Korean schools shows that teachers opt for such speaking assessment tasks that gave less psychological burden to students, were less time consuming and did not demand the teacher to take the role of interviewer etc. Teachers function as a rater only, scoring students

provide evidence of student’s achievements (Rink & Williams, 2003). We can provide these achievements with hard copies of assessments taken by the students. Earlier in the paper I had mentioned the two assessments commonly used through out schools. Another assessment that is highly used in physical education is authentic assessment, which was promoted by Grant Wiggins (1989). This sort of assessment places students in real world problems which students may use skills and knowledge to solve

Reflection #2 Throughout my current educational coursework and field experiences, I have explored and engaged in the use of multiple assessments to gather both formative and summative data to check for student knowledge of the standards. As stated by Bransford (1999), "Assessment should mirror good instruction; happen continuously as part of instruction; and provide information about the levels of understanding that students are reaching.” Any type of assessment is an important assessment that helps

be. I had assignments in each one of classes every single day we met, alongside a full-time job, pledging a sorority (another full-time job) and an almost twice-daily commute. All of the work forced me to utilize every second I could spare. I did school work at work and, really, wherever else possible. Honestly, some days, the class work had been finished on time and other days, it had not. In INTS 2630, the updated copies of my essays did not always make it on the commute with me. Sometimes, they

Former President Clinton said this in a speech in in March of 1996. There is an immense controversy about whether a school uniform will help or hinder a student.

As time went by, things did not get easier; it took me three months to be accepted in the primary school because of some

COMPUTER OR PAPER? According to Enoch Morrison, even if computers are a great help to the students' examination, there are some people who are still not used to using it for taking tests. There are advantages and disadvantages when using it. For example, its advantage may be the test could be arranged by the professor or teacher according to its difficulty like starting off an easy one in the first question, then it will get difficult by the time the test go to the last question as it will save
