Reflective Assessment

Chapter Seven of Daniels and Bizar is about assessment which is a huge topic in education and a word that makes me cringe.  I personally reflect on my assessments which were typically paper based and multiple choice. Personally I am not a good test taker; I over analyze and second guess myself.  I have always preferred essay based tests or portfolios (letting me tell the assessor what I know). I am not a far of standardized test as I do not believe one test can tell all that a student knows.  I wish that students could build portfolios over the year as their assessment.  I also believe that teachers should assess students frequently and using a variety of methods.

I found this image and thought it was definitely fitting!
