As teachers, we talk a lot about assessment. Do we need it? Do we want it? What kind? Criterion-based? Multiple choice tests? Project? Visual? And what do we do with it once we have it? Report on it? Re-do it? Shelve it?
As MYP teachers, we know assessment is not just a by-product of learning. We assess for learning more than we assess of learning — well, at least we should be, but I know it’s not always easy. Some schools are still stuck in “old” ways and… well, Rome wasn’t built in a day. But regardless — we know we must assess.
